Gifted Services provides a variety of experiences for all of the
students at Cherokee Heights. Students will participate in activities
such as Enrichment Cluster Classes, Multicultural Arts Fair, Science
Fair, Cherokee University Day, Destination Imagination, Artists in
Residence, Showcase Celebrations, Mixed Blood productions, speakers,
assemblies, and field trips as part of the Schoolwide Enrichment
Model. Cherokee students will also spend time in our Production
Studio. The studio is available to classrooms to create integrated,
thematic productions based on content being studied in class.
An important part of schoolwide enrichment at Cherokee is our daily news broadcast
(CNN - Cherokee News Network). All classes start their day by watching a live newscast produced by Cherokee students! The show is educational and aims to strengthen our sense of school community with national and local news, school announcements, and frequent guest appearances by staff & students. This fall, fifth and sixth grade
students applied and auditioned for permanent positions on the CNN crew. These
students are responsible for all studio operations, performing jobs
such as floor director, studio director, camera person, technology
director, video controller, audio director, newscaster and
meteorologist. Congratulations to all of our 2008-2009 crew members!
