The sixth grade orchestra program is well underway at Cherry Creek Elementary. Students are learning the basics of rhythm, counting, technique and instrument care. Music is a wonderful way to expand our cultural horizons, not to mention improve our math and reading skills.

As a fifth grade Cherry Creek Elementary went to the Springville power plant and had a great time learning about where power came from and how it is made.

Our first awards assembly of the year honored students from each class. The Scholarship Award went to those who worked very hard to complete all their assignments and achieve good grades. The Citizenship Award recognized students who were respectful and kind to those around them. Many students also received the Special Recognition Award from their teachers for having outstanding character qualities. Congratulations to all the award recipients!

Ahoy Mateys!  On Wednesday, September 19th the third grade students came to school with a surprise.  Their teachers turned into pirates!  We celebrated International Talk Like a Pirate Day.  We enjoyed playing treasure ship math, battleship with spelling, and even had Captain Duncan (Mr. Duncan) come share a story with us about pirates.  Arrrrrg!  We missed Mrs. Wimmer but were grateful the substitute was willing to join in the fun.  We all had a wonderful time.
