Dear Cherry Crest Elementary School Community,
|
As the school year draws to a close, we want to take a moment to extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to all the new families joining our cherished Cherry Crest Elementary community. We are thrilled to have you as part of our school family and look forward to getting to know each and every one of you.
|
At Cherry Crest, we believe that strong connections and a supportive environment are the foundations for success. We are committed to providing your children with an exceptional educational experience filled with academic growth, creative exploration, and a sense of belonging. Our dedicated teachers and staff are eager to guide and nurture your children, helping them reach their full potential.
|
As we bid farewell to another incredible school year, we would also like to take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude and best wishes to all the families who have been a part of our Cherry Crest community. We appreciate your unwavering support, active involvement, and the countless memories we have created together. May your summer be filled with joy, relaxation, and wonderful moments shared with loved ones.
|
To our extraordinary fifth graders, who are about to embark on an exciting new chapter in their educational journey, we want to extend our heartfelt congratulations and wish you every success in middle school and beyond. Remember, the lessons you've learned and the friendships you've made at Cherry Crest will forever be a part of who you are.
|
As we embrace the summer break, we eagerly anticipate the return of familiar faces and the arrival of new ones when we reconvene in the fall.

Cherry Crest Elementary School thrives because of its vibrant community, and we are excited to continue building strong partnerships with all our families.

These next generation changemakers from our school district were invited to share “Environmental Sustainability Education” with students (grade 2-6), at a local non-profit organization at Bellevue Northwest Art Centre (NWAC), recently. Students from the Environmental Impact Club are building two-way partnerships between the school and the wider community and sharing learnings around environmental stewardship, bringing energy conservation, recycling, composting and pollution prevention ideas with schools and communities.
|
Kudos to these creators of our future world, for making a positive impact on our environment and making their communities more sustainable.
