A 3rd Grader in Mrs Zambrano’s class saved up her Croc Cash to buy Mrs. Darrington’s chair for a day. What a way to spend a day learning in comfort!
2nd grade classes competed in a “foot race” as a cumulative day for our knowledge unit on Greek history and myths. All four classes raced and then we did a final race.
Monday was Veteran’s Day. Some of our Crocs invited their favorite Veteran to come and share their military experiences. Cherry Creek celebrated these Veterans with a Victory lap. Mrs. Sorenson made a sweet treat to thank them for their service and for coming to share their experiences. We love and appreciate all that Veterans have done to help us enjoy the freedoms we have in the United States.
Today, we had two classes winning the Spirit Day trophies. Mrs. Golding’s 1st Grade Class and Mr. Jenkin’s 5th grade class both had ALL of their students wearing RED or Cherry Creek attire. Congratulations!
A 3rd Grader in Mrs. Rees’ class made the Impossible Shot in PE yesterday. Great Job! It seems like the 3rd graders have the magic touch lately.
November is Native American Heritage Month. Mrs Brenda Beyal came to to share her talents of making Fry Bread. Mrs. Beeson’s 2nd Graders watched her roll out the dough and cook it. They especially enjoyed eating the tasty treat. Other Crocs attended a bead making presentation. It’s always fun to learn about other cultures.
This 3rd Grade Croc saved up her hard earned Croc Cash to buy Mrs. Darrington’s chair for a day. What a comfy way to spend a day learning!

Last week, Cherry Creek’s Lighthouse Team had the opportunity to attend a Leadership Conference at BYU, where they met with other Student Councils from the area. Way to live Habit#7: Sharpen the Saw. The things they learned at the conference will help them now and in their future endeavors.
Mrs. Jensen’s class has been practicing Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind and Habit 6: Synergize! The students set a goal to fill their smiley face jar, knowing the end goal was a trip to the Croc Cave! They showed great leadership and worked together to reach their goal, then celebrated with some fun in the Croc Cave!
Wednesday’s theme for Red Ribbon Week was Community Connection. Students wore hats or outfits that represented a community hero or a job that they wanted to do when they are grown. At lunch, officers from Springville PD came to interact with students. One officer even brought his K-9 companion. Students played basketball, football and had running races with the officers. Did you know that Officer Monney was once a Cherry Creek Croc? Students presented thank you notes to the Officers. Thanks to the Officers for living Habit #4: Think Win-Win and Habit 8: Find Your Voice and Inspire Others to Find Theirs
The First Graders had their 50th day of school and celebrated by dressing up in 50’s attire and having root beer floats! What a fun way to celebrate learning!
We saw double on Tuesday’s Red Ribbon Week. Tuesday was Twin day, finding your matching piece by pairing up with a friend and dressing alike. During lunch recess, Crocs Communicate by rolling some dice and creating a story using the pictures on the dice. What a fun way to chat with a friend!
What a way to start Red Ribbon Week! Monday’s theme was Life is a Puzzle, Solve it Drug Free! Students were asked to wear Mismatched Clothes to remind us that every piece matters in a puzzle. At lunch, the PTA brought out puzzles for students to put together to strengthen brain power.
On Friday, we had our Victory Assembly for October. The Top Crocs and Leaders of the Month were honored, progress on our two WIGS were announced and some students participated in a Corny game. Keep reading nightly and living the 7 Habits at school, so we can reach our WIGS-Wildly Important Goals. And striving to be a Top Croc and a Leader helps everyone to have a good experience at Cherry Creek.
