As the school year winds down, the fun is continuing at Cherokee! ☀️🎉

From leadership opportunities as Students Ruled the School day to end-of-year celebrations, class parties, and nonstop learning still happening in every classroom — our Chargers are finishing the year strong! ♥️⚡️

There’s excitement around every corner, laughter in every hallway, and so many memories being made these last few days of school. We are so proud of our students, staff, and families for making this year such an incredible one.

Reminder: Tomorrow morning is our Moving Up Ceremony! 🎓 Our last day of school is Friday, and both Thursday and Friday are early release days with dismissal at 1:15 PM.

Go Chargers!

Full circle moments like these are what it’s all about ♥️

Today we welcomed back our former Cherokee Chargers, now seniors, along with some of our beloved former staff. Seeing them walk our campus again, surrounded by cheers and smiles during a school-wide parade, was something special.

Our students were in awe, our staff beaming with pride, and the memories came rushing back. From little learners to graduating seniors, we couldn’t be more proud of who they’ve become.

Cherokee pride runs deep—and it always will. 🐴♥️

What a FUN and full Friday at Cherokee! 🎉♥️

We kicked off the day with our monthly flag raising, where we proudly celebrated our new Blue Zones accreditation with a special ribbon cutting and honored guests. What an exciting milestone for our school community!

We also celebrated one of our very own, first grader Sophie, for earning 3rd place in the National Be Kind poem contest. She showed incredible bravery reading her beautiful poem in front of the entire school! Way to go, Sophie! ♥️

To top it all off, we wrapped up the morning with our Silver Horseshoe Award winners for the month with a spin of the prize wheel! So many students recognized for their hard work and showing CARES all around campus.

Days like today remind us how special our Cherokee Chargers truly are. ♥️🐴

Miss Van Gerpen’s class took learning to the next level this week—diving into the history of basketball, researching Sweet 16 teams, creating their own brackets, and even battling it out in Addition March Madness! ➕💥 From spelling games to fast-paced fact fluency, these students showed teamwork, strategy, and serious brain power.

Future scholars (and maybe future champs) in the making! 🏆
