    School Specialty and the College Football Playoff Foundation: Cherry Creek Elementary School Media Center Makeover

    School Specialty® and the College Football Playoff Foundation® (CFPF) share a common goal to improve educator resources and provide children with better learning opportunities. This mission is supported by both organizations through CFPF’s Extra Yard for Teachers® program. We’ve been extra busy lately, and this time, we took our tools to Cherry Creek Elementary School in Utah for a modern media center makeover!

    Cherry Creek Elementary is a PreK-6 school in the Nebo School District. Their motto is “We Lead, We Learn, We Inspire, I Am Important!” They recite this motto every morning, and teachers work to instill strong habits in students that improve performance and develop leaders in all areas. School Specialty and CFPF are proud to help them embody their mission by providing an engaging new media center designed to fit their specific needs.

    The new media center marks the 49th makeover collaboration between School Specialty and CFPF. Since 2015, our partnership has completed learning environment upgrades in 33 school districts across 13 states, with more on the way!

    School Specialty and our Projects by Design® experts worked with the school to design a space that better supports their needs and drives outcomes. Our goal is always to complement the school’s style of teaching and learning with a contemporary, welcoming space and flexible seating options from our Classroom Select® proprietary furniture line. This new learning space will inspire teachers and students to collaborate, learn, and grow, and is just one more step in School Specialty’s mission of Transforming More Than Classrooms.
