A small sampling of what was available in Santa’s Workshop at Cherry Creek ElementaryLast week, students at Cherry Creek Elementary in Springville were given the opportunity to buy inexpensive gifts for friends and family members at “Santa’s Workshop”. The PTA has worked very hard (with the help of Santa’s Elves, of course) to provide a wide variety of things that kids can afford (starting at 25 cents). Many children who are not otherwise able to buy gifts for their family members look forward to this every year. The workshop was quite busy during its open hours – it was a huge success!
Unfortunately, there are currently not enough PTA members at Cherry Creek who are able to help with Santa’s Workshop in the future. This means that there might not be a Santa’s Workshop next year! If you or someone you know might be willing to help us with this dilemma, please contact a member of the PTA! We don’t want our kids to miss this chance to do something kind for others!
Third-graders from Cherry Creek Elementary prepare to sing at Art City Nursing and RehabOn Thursday, December 10, third-graders at Cherry Creek Elementary visited the folks at Art City Nursing and Rehab. During the visit, they sang a few Christmas songs to get them in the holiday mood. It was a great experience for the children to offer service to others.
Jacob Buhler with the 350 Phonics Phones he donated to Cherry Creek Elementary School
Jacob Buhler, age 13, recently made 350 “phonics phones” as part of his Eagle Scout Project. Phonics Phones are made from PVC pipes and are used by students during reading. This is what The Candl Foundation has to say about phonics phones: “When students read aloud, the device allows them to hear themselves much more clearly when they practice. They are able to work on word pronunciation and improve their
phonics skills by using the phones…. By using the phones, student practice time is more productive. Since practice makes perfect, children become better readers, which in turn helps them across the board in their other subjects.” (http://www.candlfoundation.com/). They are a wonderful tool for students!
Cherry Creek Elementary in Springville was very fortunate to be presented with these Phonics Phones. They were assembled, painted, decorated, and labeled with student names by Jacob with the help of local LDS Young Men and Young Women groups as well as HC Storm Soccer Team members. Harward Irrigation and Sunroc kindly provided the materials at discounted prices.

dressed up in their best "fifties" clothes and played
games that were popular in the fifties. They learned how
to hula hoop, do the bunny hop, and the twist.
Afterwards, they all got root beer floats. It was a
great day in first grade!

Mr. Scott Earl is trying his best to be the messiest pie eater at Cherry Creek!The PTA at Cherry Creek in Springville has a lot of dedicated members! In fact, Mrs. Amy Braithwaite’s 1st grade class has the most PTA members in the whole school! Their class was awarded a special party. However, it was decided that this would not be enough. SO the PTA put on a Pie Eating Contest between children of PTA members, and the teachers. It was a huge success.
