We’ve extended the Walkathon fundraising deadline to Thursday, May 9— the evening of the Walkathon!

Our Walkathon goal is to raise $80,000 by Friday, April 18—and if we do, we’ll transform our Walkathon into a Color or Foam Run! Let’s show our school spirit, have a blast, and rally together to reach our goal.

Join us at the 2025 Cherry Crest Variety Show on Friday April, 25th at 6pm.

All kids 14 & under will get to run the bases postgame and first 10,000 dads get socks on this special baseball game between Seattle Mariners and Cleveland Guardians on June 15th at 1:10pm and the T-Mobile Park Seattle. Cherry Crest families will be seated together in section 115 when you buy tickets through the PTSA.

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… April is your month!

Cherry Crest PTSA honors a few outstanding volunteers each year with the Golden Acorn award. We look for volunteers who have made significant contributions to our community in various roles throughout one or more years.

E-mail nominations to: goldenacorn@cherrycrest-ptsa.org by Friday, April 18th.

Join us for the General PTSA Membership Meeting on March 25th from 6:30–7:30 PM in the Cherry Crest Cafeteria—and yes, there will be treats! Come chat with Principal Stedman and School Board Member Cindy Rogan about how upcoming school budget cuts could impact Cherry Crest. Get the scoop on exciting Walkathon incentives, and find out what volunteer roles are open for next year.

Let’s honor our Cherry Crest staff with various “pie’s” on Pi Day!!

Bring (or have delivered) pizza and pie for our amazing Charger Staff to enjoy!

*Please order family sized pizza’s!

You may have heard about the recent education funding crisis in Washington and Dr. Aramaki’s plan to reduce spending by $20 million for the 2025-2026 school year to stabilize the district’s finances.

It’s a lot to take in, and you may be wondering — what can I do to help?

March 7th from 6 PM to 8 PM at the Cherry Crest Gym/Café, with doors opening at 5:45 PM. Join us for a fun-filled evening featuring a PG-rated movie. Bring a blanket and pillow for comfortable seating, and if possible, bring cash for concessions. Students must be accompanied by an adult, as this is not a drop-off event. Tickets are free but required for headcount. Concessions, including pizza, candy, drinks, and more, will be available for purchase.
