Our PTSA FLL club 5th grade Amazing Axolotls advanced to the Regional Semi-Finals, and our 4th grade Ground Coder team ranked an impressive 9th out of 29 teams on robot games. Congratulation to them! Stay tuned for Winter Semester registration to join the excitement!

We’d love to feature more of our students in the yearbook! If you’re helping with a class holiday party, please consider snapping a few photos to share.
To help us get the best shots:
– Include at least three kids with faces clearly visible
– Aim for eye contact and natural, happy expressions
– Use natural or bright lighting whenever possible
Your photos help us preserve the joy of the season and make the yearbook shine. Thanks for being part of the magic!

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.

📢Join us for the PTSA General Meeting on Oct 7 in person at 6 PM in the cafeteria—free retro t-shirt for PTSA members (while supplies last), snacks, and school updates!📢
