On Friday, September 10th, 5th and 6th grade students from Cherry Creek Elementary had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit the Moving Vietnam Wall.  Before leaving, Mr. Truscott - father-in-law to 6th-grade teacher Mrs. S. Truscott - spoke to the students about his experiences in the Vietnam war.  Then the students rode a bus to the Spanish Fork Cemetery, where they were able to see the half size replica of the Vietnam Wall (the full size original is in Washington D.C.).  The students were touched by the thousands of names written on the wall.

Cherry Creek Elementary has been participating in the Ken Garff “Road to Success” reading program. Each time a student reads 100 minutes at home, they get to enter their name into a drawing to win a free bike! The school was very fortunate to have several extra bikes donated, so that more students can be rewarded for their hard work!
