Cherry Creek has a wonderful tradition of having the students create the covers for the school yearbook.  This year, Berlin Braun’s design was chosen to become the front cover of the year book.  Berlin is a 5th Grader in Mrs. Nielson’s class.  Troy Powell’s creation will grace the back cover of the yearbook.  He is a 3rd Grader in Ms. Tobler’s class.  Way to show your creative talents Crocs!  Congratulations!
