What a fantastic Walkathon! The energy, enthusiasm, and school spirit on display were truly inspiring. Students walked, cheered, danced, and supported one another throughout the event, creating memories that will last all year long.
Most importantly, our Cherry Crest community came together to support the programs, enrichment opportunities, and experiences that make our school extraordinary.
On behalf of the Cherry Crest PTSA, thank you to every student, parent, teacher, volunteer, sponsor, and donor who made this event possible.

Our final fundraiser of the school year is officially here! On Friday, June 5th, our students will be hitting the field for the annual Cherry Crest Walk-a-thon. This is an incredible community tradition, and this year, we have set a goal to raise $40,000 to support our school’s vital programs.

Every lap counts, and every donation brings us closer to our goal. Here is everything you need to know to get ready:
Step 1: Complete the Required Permission Slip
Step 2: Donate & Support Your Grade

Walkathon is our year end fundraiser to close the $40k PTSA budget gap for the year. We are excited to bring you this community event before the end of the school year.

This is an after school event from 2:30pm to 4pm. Parent supervision is required and permission slips will be sent home for participating.
