Mondays are tough on everyone, so why not let the Popcorn Crew
take care of your child’s snack? Sign up for a year of snack
popcorn by sending $8 in a labeled envelope to school. If you
wish, you can also send in an extra $2 to help provide a popcorn
snack for others! Monday popcorn begins on October 20 for the
entire school.

Fun Facts

Mathematics is important
in many different types of
jobs, including engineering,
business, science,
medicine and more.

What comes after a million,
billion and trillion? Why a
quadrillion, quintillion,
sextillion, septillion, octillion
and nonillion of course.

The equal sign (=) was
invented by 16th Century
Welsh mathematician
Robert Recorde, who was
tired of writing "is equal to"
in his equations.

A pie can be cut into 8
pieces with 3 movements.

Googol is the term used for
a number 1 followed by
100 zeros, first used by a
nine-year old (Milton
Sirotta) in 1940.

The name of the popular
search engine ‘Google’
came from a misspelling of
the word ‘googol’.
New Library Books
Through your support of CCSA’s book fairs we purchased $270
worth of books for our library. Our next book fair will be held
November 24 & 25.
Playground Equipment
The CCSA purchased hula hoops, footballs, kick balls and flying
discs for the playground fun during recess. Ask your children about
the fun they are having with them!
Media Cart for Fourth Grades
CCSA has purchased a media cart for the 16 Chrome Books being
used in the fourth grade classrooms to allow charging and safe
storage of the devices when not in use.
Fun Run
Fun Run was a success even though the weather didn’t cooperate
and we were forced to run inside the gym for ten minutes.
Principal Smith and many parent volunteers cheered as our school
completed laps equaling 208 miles. This distance would be equal
to traveling from Cherry Creek to the Quincy Mine in Hancock, MI!
All runners were given a certificate of completion and a banana
before they went back to class.
The classrooms of Mrs. Wales, Ms. Kuopus, and Mrs. Marceau had
the highest lap count average per student and earned the right to
pelt the parrot (CCSA President Mackey) with water balloons.

CCSA President Mackey Thoughts
Principal Smith has shared his vision, the Cherry Creek tree. The
students represent the portion of the tree that is visible. We as
parents are the root system that allows the tree to become strong
and grow. As parents we support our kids with proper nutrition and
sleep habits, assisting with homework, and being involved in our
school community. This vision will be a focus of CCSA and Cherry
Creek staff during this school year as we grow our tree together.
