Dear Cherry Crest Families,

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.
