Today's spotlight goes to our amazing speech-language pathologist (SLP), Janelle Barrett!  Miss Barrett is in her fourth year at Cherry Creek, and we're so grateful to have her!  She grew up all the way in Minnesota with her parents and four siblings.  Then she moved here to Utah to go to BYU for both her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in communication disorders. When she's not busy being a wonderful SLP, Miss Barrett likes to cook, sew, play the violin, and do yoga.

The kindergarteners have been having fun the past two weeks learning all about animals. This week we went on a safari around our classroom to look for wild animals.  The kids look so great in their safari hats!

Yesterday, our fourth grade classes went on an exciting field trip to the Museum of Natural History in Salt Lake City. The students had fun navigating the museum and learning more about the history of the great state of Utah!
