Student Leadership Positions

Submitted by lyndsee.brice on

Students from the Lighthouse Committee met with Mr. Duncan to present the ideas the committee came up with for schoolwide leadership positions. They had great ideas! Everything from helping with lost and found items to being bully busters. We have a great group of Student Lighthouse members this year.

Student Lighthouse Team

Submitted by lyndsee.brice on

Here is the Cherry Creek Student Lighthouse Team in their first meeting. Students applied for these class representative positions or were nominated by their teachers. One student per class will come on a regular basis to discuss ways to improve the school. At their first meeting they learned what was expected of them, played a getting to know you game, made suggestion envelopes and were given an assignment to take back to their class to discuss. This fabulous group of students is mentored by Miss Hartman and Mrs. Sumsion.

A Trip to the North Pole

Submitted by lyndsee.brice on
Skylar Skuza was a popular student the day he told all of Mrs.Smartt's Kindergarten class about his recent trip to the North Pole to see Santa Claus. All the students were very excited to hear all about it and ask lots of questions. If you missed him on the news, take a look! http://fox13now.com/2014/12/13/deltas-santa-express-gives-young-patients-a-festive-day-away-from-hospitals/

Gingerbread Helpers

Submitted by lyndsee.brice on

Reading Every Day can be constructive in more than one way. This week, during the "Read Everyday Program" at Springville Cherry Creek Elementary School, the children asked Questar's volunteers to please stay a bit longer to join them in one of their favorite Christmas holiday activities--helping engineer and build gingerbread houses.
