We are so pleased to announce the Cherry Creek Teacher of the Year - Mrs. Chelsie Bergera! She was nominated by her fellow teachers. Mrs. Bergera is so deserving and works so hard.

The sixth graders and a select few fifth graders participated in the annual science fair on Friday, February 7. Students had been working on the scientific process in class and were able to apply those principles as they spent a month preparing for the fair.

There was a great turn out of parents, family and fellow students at the walk through of the science fair.
