During the 2010-2011 school year, Cherry Creek Elementary school students participated in the Ken Garff "Road to Success" program.  Students were encouraged to read at least 20 minutes EVERY DAY.  Each time a student read for 5 days a week, they got to put their name into a drawing for prizes.  Each time they read 7 days a week, they got to put their name into the drawing twice!  The program has been a great motivator for the students. 

On May 6, 2011, students at Cherry Creek Elementary came to school early to have muffins and create reading memories with their moms.  This year the students were given a special gift!  In memory of Viola Farnsworth, a beloved teacher who passed away earlier this year, each student received a free book from her classroom library.  Mrs. Farnsworth's dedication to the children at this school has been sorely missed!  Faculty and staff felt like this would be a great way to honor her and to help their students develop a love for reading!

On Friday, October 22nd, members of the Utah Opera hosted "Who Wants to Be An Opera Star" at Cherry Creek Elementary in Springville.  The students were very entertained and even learned a few things about opera during the assembly.  Who knows.  Maybe some of our students will grow up to be an opera star!

Tuesday, October 19th was "Walk to School Day" at Cherry Creek Elementary in Springville.  Students were encouraged to walk/ride their bikes to school.  Many of them even remembered to wear green to show that they are trying to be safe!

On Friday, September 17th, 5th-graders at Cherry Creek Elementary put on a Wax Museum.  Each student researched a famous person from history, then dressed up as that person for the wax museum.  Visitors were able to push a "button" to make the kids talk about their person.  It was a very informative wax museum!

On Friday, September 10th, 5th and 6th grade students from Cherry Creek Elementary had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit the Moving Vietnam Wall.  Before leaving, Mr. Truscott - father-in-law to 6th-grade teacher Mrs. S. Truscott - spoke to the students about his experiences in the Vietnam war.  Then the students rode a bus to the Spanish Fork Cemetery, where they were able to see the half size replica of the Vietnam Wall (the full size original is in Washington D.C.).  The students were touched by the thousands of names written on the wall.
