Month: September 2023

Washington State Parent Teacher Association (WSPTA) is a non-profit organization that advocates for the well-being and education of all children. This October PTA/PTSA members across Washington State will gather virtually to debate and vote to amend current issues or to add new, emerging issues to the supported list for WSPTA’s platform for advocacy. During the two-day assembly, attendees can also attend education sessions focused on current issues and advocacy basics. You can pick and choose what to attend. Listen, learn, and lend your voice to issues important to your family!

All PTA members are invited to register and attend online. The cost is $35.00. Not a PTA member yet? Join the Cherry Crest PTSA today and then register(https://whova.com/portal/registration/legis_202310/) to attend the Assembly.
Want a more active role? Cherry Crest PTSA is looking for 3 more members to represent us as voting delegates. Register(https://whova.com/portal/registration/legis_202310/) yourself as a voting delegate by noon on Thursday, October 5th. Questions? Contact legislativerep@cherrycrest-ptsa.org.

Join fellow classmates and their families for dinner in the school cafeteria! Meet your child’s new classmates and reconnect with friends. All family members, including siblings, are encouraged to attend. PTSA leaders, Principal Erin Stedman and Assistant Principal Amy Chu are excited to connect further with families at this event.

Families can pre-order dinner(https://www.cherrycrest-ptsa.org/events-calendar/family-dinners/) (Qdoba buffet with meat, rice, beans, fajita veggies, chips, etc) or bring their own.
