Literacy Week at Cherry Creek brought many great happenings at our school. On Monday, it was dress like a Dr. Seuss character. Tuesday we had wear a hat day and Wednesday was crazy hair day. We wore blue on Thursday in honor of our guest reader, BYU football player, Spencer Hadley. He read a book to each grade, showed a highlight reel, answered questions, gave high-fives and visited with students at lunch. He signed a few items that were later given away as prizes for students whose names were drawn from the blue and gold croc-claws.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Available in English and Spanish. 

Friday, March 1, was Dads and Donuts at Cherry Creek. We had a bigger crowd than ever and even had to open up into the Croc Cafe and set up extra tables. We loved seeing so many dads, moms, grandparents and family members reading together, visiting and enjoying donuts and drinks. The student council and teachers served up the refreshments. Thanks for supporting Cherry Creek activities!

Congratulations to our awards assembly recipients! The students pictured received awards based on excellent academic achievement (Scholar Award), remarkable citizenship, or a special award designated by their teachers.  We love our Cherry Creek Crocs!

Susan Deardeuff was the winner of the Crystal Apple Award at Cherry Creek Elementary, an award given by teachers to teachers. This is what her colleagues had to say about her:

"Working with Susan has been such an enjoyable experience. If you watch her with the students you can tell she loves what she does. Her personality invites all students to participate and feel important in her class. Her students know that she cares about them.
