Staff Appreciation: 4th Grade Families

Attention 4th Grade Families! November is your month for Staff Appreciation!

What is Staff Appreciation? Each year Cherry Crest families show their appreciation for our outstanding educators by volunteering to provide food, beverages, and paper products throughout the school year to help restock the staff room and encourage our teachers with a monthly breakfast. Each Grade is assigned one month to focus their efforts… November is your month!

New WhatsApp Community for Grade-Level Parent Communication

The PTSA is excited to announce the launch of a “Cherry Crest Elementary Parents Group” WhatsApp Community with grade-specific parent groups.

These groups are designed to help the PTSA, CE Reps and room parents connect with other parents in a specific grade.

Joining these groups is completely optional and opt-in only. The groups will not replace our other existing forms of communication. They will not be facilitated by any PTSA member and are meant to be self-serving.

We invite every parent to join and help make this a welcoming and valuable resource for our school community.
