And that's a wrap! This group of kiddos will forever hold a special place in my heart. We shared many fun memories together and conquered the e-learning! I am grateful for their resiliency, kindness, and positivity. Wishing them the best on their next adventure! #cherokeeinspires

Thank you Mr. Livingston for reading Trick or Pete to our classes today! Everyone loved sharing what they are going to be for Halloween! #cherokeeinspires

Jessica Quinn class made some creepy carrots after listening to the book #Creepycarrots #findingjoy67 #cherokeeinspires

Teachers, if there is one solace you can take away from these turbulent times is that your students may not remember much of what you taught, but they will remember that you cared, showed grace, made them feel valued, and supported. They will remember that forever.

Thank you Veterans! #VeteransDay2020

"Seeing is believing, but sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see." Thankful for these imaginative, resilient Kindergartners - All Aboard the Polar Express! #cherokeeinspires
