Celebrating Halloween was a real treat this year.   Students arrived all smiles, ready for a fantastic day.  More smiles arrived as we were able to welcome parents into the building to once again host class parties.  We are thankful for all the volunteers who helped make this a fun day.  

The first grade students from our school were able to attend Peter Pan's Great Adventure at the Scera Theater in Orem.  We are lucky to have many wonderful opportunities to participate in, enjoy, and learn about the arts.  Not only do students get to attend performances showcasing various forms of art, we are lucky to have arts education integrated into our curriculum, and be able to take advantage of district arts specialists.  

This week, Mrs. Truscott’s 4th Grade Class and Mrs. Jarvis’ 5th Grade Class tied with 95% of their students wearing Red.  Way to show your School Spirit! Congratulations!

Cherry Creek students and faculty are preparing to host a parade honoring all veterans in our community.  We need your help inviting family members, friends, and neighbors so we can honor them for their service and show how much we respect them.  Please use this link to provide information about a veteran you will be helping us honor.  We will be making car posters for those who register and need their information ahead of time.   Veteran Information Page

There are many wonderful things happening at Cherry Creek, including character education lessons being taught by our school counselor, Mrs. Smith. Today she was teaching, laughing, and interacting with students in Mrs. Jensen's class with a fun lesson. We have a strong community of educators working hard every day at Cherry Creek to help all of our students be successful in every aspect of life.

Second grade has been learning about properties of matter and recycling. This week, Mrs. Hill’s class was able to bring recyclable items to school. They sorted them according to their properties and took them to be recycled.  Way to go second grade, we sure love that you are learning about science and recycling at the same time.  

Mrs. Truscott's class has a fun basic engineering task that not only allowed students to complete a friendly class competition, it gave them authentic practice with communication and negotiation skills, as well as using the habit of synergizing.  

We hope you all enjoy spending time with family and friends during the fall break.  There is no school on Thursday October 14 - Friday October 15th.  We look forward to see students back on Monday October 18th.  

Little Caesars Pizza and Sunpro recently partnered with the Cherry Creek PTA to reward students during the book fair week.  Miss Pullan's class visited Sunpro where the highlight of the tour was the requested chain saw section.  They popped some corn for students and answered 2 million 3rd grade questions.  Then students went to the gas station.  Here they learned about safety measures gas stations take.  They learned that about once a week customers accidentally drive off with the gas nozzle still in their car.  The nozzle is designed to detatch safely from th

This week, we had a Tie!  Both Mrs. Truscott’s class and Mrs. Frossard’s class had 100% of their students Rocking the Red!  Congratulations!
