It was so good to see familiar faces and welcome new friends to our Back to School Open House!  Thanks for coming, meeting your teachers and filling the halls with smiles and laughter!  

We’re excited to start the new school year!  There will be an Open House on Monday, August 14th from 3:30-5:30 for Grades 1-5.  Come meet your teacher, check out your classroom, find your locker, sign up for lunch and PTA.  See you on Monday!    First Day of School will be Wednesday, August 16th.  Open House for PreSchool and Kindergarten will be on Tuesday, August 22nd. 

We have a lot of new faces at Cherry Creek this year.  Over the next few weeks, we will be posting pictures and spotlights so you can get to know the new teachers and faculty at the Creek.

Cherry Creek’s last day of school will be tomorrow, Thursday, May 25th.  It will be a half day, with school out at noon.  See you next Fall!  Have a fun and safe summer vacation!

It’s hard to say goodbye!  Cherry Creek is proud to see the 5th Grade Students graduate and move on to Middle School.  Many of these students have been here since Preschool and Kindergarten.  We hope you all have learned some good leadership skills while here at the Creek.  Go Forth to Lead, Learn and Inspire!  Congratulations!  Crocs 4 Life!

Graduation time for our Cherry Creek Kinders!  They have learned so much and grown so much over the past year!  Congratulations and see you in 1st Grade next year!

One of the highlights of the end of the year is Mini Society.  The 5th Grade Students come up with a business plan, think about what they want to make or “sell” and get creative with a booth to present & sell their wares.  There are bankers, sanitation workers and runners that help run the business community.  The students in grades 1-4 earn and are rewarded Mini Society bucks to “spend” at the Mini Society booths.  Everyone has a good time playing games, having fingernails painted, eating cotton candy and “buying” trinkets.

Monday was Water Day at Cherry Creek.  The 4th and 5th Graders got to enjoy some pool time at the Rec Center.  In the afternoon, 1st, 2nd & 3rd Graders had fun playing water games, eating Otter Pops and cooling off in the water slides.  The big hit of the day was the bubble machine!

Students have been working hard all year with at-home reading to earn carnival tickets for our year-end celebration.  At the beginning of the year, our school set a  WIG (wildly important goal) for students to complete weekly at home reading minutes.  To reward them for their efforts, students were earning tickets for a year-end school carnival.  Students could spin the wheel for prizes from generous local businesses, or play games to win small toys and best of all, free books were available to every student.  It was a fantastic time!
