Ms. O'Connell's 2nd Grade Class had two parents come into their classroom and introduce the students to New Diwali since they have been learning about Ancient India. New Diwali, the festival of lights, is being celebrated on October 24th. The special guest parents introduced a craft called rangoli to the students and gave them clay diyas and candles to take home to introduce and celebrate the holiday with each of their families. It was a really great experience for the students they enjoyed it very much.

Parents, each year we put together a slideshow video of our 8th graders and show it at graduation. We are asking that you please fill out this form in order to submit a baby/young child photo of your 8th grader and a current photo of them to be shared at graduation. If you have any questions, please contact Rachel Brooks at rbrooks@cherrycreekacademy.org.

As a part of our Veterans Day Assembly, scheduled for November 11, 2022 at 8 am, we would like to honor the brave people in our community who have served or are currently serving in the military. To include a member of the military to be honored during our assembly please share their name and the branch of the military they served in or are currently serving in, an optional picture, and bio or information about their time serving in the link below. Thank you for your participation. This year we will invite those Veterans, as well as families of students and members of our community to our school to join us for our in person assembly.

Veterans to be honored

Students are encouraged to wear RED CCA uniform shirts to highlight being healthy (for our elementary students) and to highlight our commitment to being substance-free (for our middle school students). Middle school students will also have the opportunity to add their signature to the wall as a commitment that they will stay substance-free.

Students have the option to wear BRIGHT ACCESSORIES (including socks) to bring focus to cultivating kindness. Students will have the opportunity to visit with Fitz and her fellow therapy dogs over lunch and lunch recess.

Join us for a DANCE PARTY and FRESH FRUIT in the front parking lot from 7:20-7:55am to start the day off with some exercise, healthy eating, and good friends.

Students will receive NEW UNITY T-SHIRTS (thanks to our amazing PTO) to wear to the first Eagle Honors assembly of the year as a visual reminder that we’re stronger together (please wear CCA uniform bottoms).

Students get a FREE DRESS DAY because rest is an important part of wellness. The Fly Like an Eagle Committee will also be sending a “smile” to each student and staff today!
*As always, all free dress must follow CCA dress code.

We'd love help and support from our CCA families to make all this happen! There are several donation opportunities (which count towards volunteer hours). If you’re interested, please sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508084EA9A72CA6FF2-redribbon
