A Kinder in Mrs. Holden’s class made the Impossible possible yesterday. 2 Kinders and two 2nd Graders have made the Impossible Shot since school started in August. What do they know or what super power do they possess to make the Impossible possible? Is it confidence? Is it skill? Whatever it is, they are succeeding!

On Friday, the 2nd Grade classes went on a Field Trip to Gordo’s Farm in Spanish Fork. There was a petting zoo with many different animals, they got a lesson on the life of a pumpkin, got a tractor ride and got to play in the corn pit. Cherry Creek Crocs are lucky to have farms close by to explore and learn about.

Thank you parents and students for attending Leadership Night on Monday. We were illuminated in so many ways: Glow in the Dark Art Gallery, Glow in the Dark Games and Glow in the Dark Literacy and Math activities. Thanks to the PTA and sponsors, every Croc got a Cherry Creek Shirt. Each family got a game swag bag along with a pizza dinner. Students got to show their parents the Leadership Job board. Parents and students went on a safari hunt to learn each grade level goals and the WIGS for the year. We hope you all had a fun and informative evening!

Cherry Creek Elementary and Nebo School District participate in the Beverly Taylor Sorenson Arts Learning Program (BTSArts). BTSArts Specialist, Cherisa Jones, will be visiting our school for the next 4 weeks. She will be working with teachers and students, together finding ways to integrate movement and dance into the school day. Movement can be used to enrich the learning of everyday subjects like math, literacy, science, and social studies. Dance can also be a lot of fun and is a great way to build community.


Want to know more about the BTSArts program? Watch this 3 minute video.
