November 2015

November has been such a fun month for third graders. Two highlights of November were the 3rd grade field trip to the City Offices and planting tulips! Every year 3rd graders learn about how to be a good citizen by visiting the city offices including the court room, the city council room, the police station, and the fire station! 3rd graders also have the opportunity of planting tulips on the west side of the school... check them out in the spring! 

Kenlee Hone is the daughter of Gary and Kerrie Hone. She is a 6th grader at Cherry Creek Elementary. She was nominated by both her Principal Mike Duncan and her former teacher Cheryl Nielsen. Both nominators commented on Kenlee’s bright smile in the hallway and how she loves to serve those around her. She creates special art pieces for those who may need a “pick-me-up.”

4th grade students were visited today by the Utah Water Van from the Living Planet Aquarium. Students learned about the water cycle and how to conserve water. They participated in hands on activities and received a fun activity book!

Here are a bunch of pictures from the cute little kiddos from Mrs. Smartt's Kindergarten class on Halloween. She was so impressed with all of their costumes! Excitement was in the air...always a fun time in Kindergarten!

Our student council had the opportunity to go to a conference this week- check out these pictures!

On November 9, Cherry Creek's PTA hosted the annual Reading Frenzy. The four sessions included guest readers sharing their books, refreshments with parents reading to their children in the cafeteria, and a free Book Giveaway to ALL that attended. There were many smiling faces at the end of the evening as they returned home with a book of their choice.
      The profits from the Scholastic Book Fair last month made the free book giveaway possible.
Thank you PTA.

Congratulations to all of the students who were recognized this week at our Reflections Assembly! There were a lot of students who participated and were able to show their talents in the various forms of art, such as visual arts, dance, writing, and photography. It is so great to see so much talent at Cherry Creek!
