The More You Know: Tips from Maverick
|
|
Written By: Dave Loomis, Dean of Students
This is my first Fly Like An Eagle (FLAE) article for this year and I thought I’d remind everyone of what Fly Like An Eagle is all about. A committee of parents, teachers, and administrators sponsor Fly Like An Eagle. The committee meets once a month and plans school events and activities to support CCA’s culture of kindness and inclusion. Some of the many projects FLAE are responsible for include the Growing Kindness Trees, No Name Calling Week and the Monday Morning Song.
Fly Like An Eagle’s purpose is to make sure we have a kind and inclusive school culture. We want all children to feel welcome and included while they are at CCA. We will continue to support projects and events that encourage this climate.
If you have any suggestions for things you would like to see to support this, please contact me at 303-779-8988 x206.
Thank you and GO EAGLES!!!

Have you heard your child excitingly tell you they visited Mr. Loomis’ mailbox today? Or have you noticed a colorful square sticker on their shirt? If you have, your child was awarded a Caring Community. Here at CCA the staff love to recognize students displaying our Eagle Honor Traits. Rewarding them with a specific trait sticker to wear is a badge of honor. But there’s much more than just a slip of paper and a sticker. It is a symbol of a school wide program which encourages the students to think beyond themselves.
Over ten years ago, Mr. Loomis, together with CCA’s now retired librarian Judy Sauertaig, wanted to implement a reward system when they saw students displaying outstanding character. Although our specific Eagle Honor Traits would not be specifically defined until 2011 under Mr. Cerny’s leadership, the staff and teachers were long recognizing students’ leadership. The hallways of the school were lined with stapled Caring Community slips reading “ ”. It was exciting to watch the students as they found their names amongst the hundreds of papers. They belonged to an important community that would evolve over the years to come. Once our traits were defined, CCA leadership decided to list the specific character traits on each Caring Community paper so the students knew exactly which trait they were exemplifying. Thus began the motivation to promote these traits that would encourage an anti-bullying atmosphere here at CCA. Color print was added to each Caring Community slip and square stickers handed to students highlighting the trait they displayed. Now, instead of these slips hanging in the hallways, they are put inside Mr. Loomis’ mailbox so he can personally see which CCA students are embracing the importance of modeling outstanding character. Bimonthly, a name from each grade level is drawn for the Monthly Caring Community Winners. Free dress and a prize is rewarded with the hopes more students will hop on board and join CCA’s anti-bullying campaign. So when you hear about your child visiting Mr. Loomis’ mailbox or see your child displaying a CCA ABC (Anti-Bullying Campaign) character sticker ask them what task they were recognized for and congratulate them on thinking beyond themselves.

Finding Carpools: Schoolpool
|
|
Tired of the daily drop off and pick up lines.
We have a solution to cut down on the traffic.
Join Cherry Creek Academy’s Schoolpool program to connect
with other families to drive, walk or bike to school together.
Cherry Creek Academy has partnered with Way to Go to offer this program to our parents as a free service with the goal of reducing traffic congestion and minimizing the stress of getting children to and from school. Rest assured, your information will only be shared with participating Cherry Creek Academy families. No one else will ever see your information, unless you elect to share your information with families at other schools.
It’s free and there is no obligation to participate. Schoolpool is a service of Way to Go, a federally funded program of the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG).
Create an account and register your household address or intersection here:
https://mywaytogo.org/s/schoolpool-cherry-ceaf14.
To maintain the highest level of privacy and security, this link is the only way for Cherry Creek Academy participants to register
Information is provided for your use only. Cherry Creek Academy and Way to Go do not run background checks, confirm valid driver’s licenses or assess insurance coverage on participants. Potential users are advised to screen participants to their personal satisfaction and check their own insurance coverage for carpooling to ensure that they are covered under these voluntary arrangements. No drivers, vehicles or insurance are provided.
The Schoolpool secure mapping service can be used for trip planning, or emergency trips and is a great resource to meet nearby families for other reasons such as play-dates and baby sitters.
The more families that register, the more likely you are to find good matches.

I love working at CCA! My oldest daughter is in 8
th
grade and started here in Kindergarten, so we've been a part of the school community for 9 years now. I also have a daughter in 4
th
grade and a son in 2
nd
grade.
I grew up in Oregon, but my husband and I have lived in Colorado since 2002 and it is home now!
My education is in counseling, but I am now a Reading Aide at CCA after substitute teaching for one year and deciding that I enjoyed the students, teachers and staff so much, I wanted to be here everyday. Reading, Crossfit, and spending time with family and friends are a few other things I enjoy.

She has middle school experience gained by homeschooling her son and she has taught preschool through high school for more years than she cares to count (because she doesn’t feel that old)!
She has one amazing son and a very cool husband.
