The PTA at Cherry Creek in Springville has a lot of dedicated members! In fact, Mrs. Amy Braithwaite’s 1^st 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.

The winners were chosen out of three categories. Ethan in Mrs. Braithwaite’s class ate the most out of all the students. Mr. Robert Sedgwick beat all the teachers (and the principal). Mr. Randall Talbot won the prize for “messiest”. Thanks to everyone who participated!

Storyteller Carmen Deedy

All students at Cherry Creek were so lucky to have author/storyteller Carmen Deedy come to their school on Thursday, September 3rd 2009! She was able to keep even the youngest children captivated for a full 30 minutes as she told her made-up story to them. The children were involved in making hand motions and sound effects while watching her face for the many different expressions she shared. Not only is she a great storyteller, but she is a great author! Some of her books include "The Library Dragon", "Martina the Beautiful Cockroach", and "Agatha's Feather Bed: Not Just Another Wild Goose Story". Thanks Ms. Deedy!
