Cherry Valley Elementary welcomed families for a Student-Led Leadership Day with 2nd and 3rd graders! Students shared how they’re learning to lead themselves & support others. It was an open house with a song, presentations, & every student playing a role.
Lewis Lemon kindergarten teachers (Mrs. Towle, Mrs. Rundall & Mrs. Smart) hosted the 3rd annual Royal Tea Party. It was a culminating activity for the Kings & Queens unit of CKLA. Students dressed up as princes & princesses, sat on a “throne” for their royal portrait to be taken, and enjoyed tea & crumpets. This gave them a deeper understanding of what it meant to act like and be like royalty. All eyes were on them throughout the day as their dress up outfits made them stand out.
