PTSA News – CHERRY CREST ELEMENTARY PTSA

Thank You for an Incredible Walkathon! 🎉

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s Walkathon — it was a joyful, high-energy afternoon filled with laughter, color-dabbed smiles, snacks, and games. It was wonderful to see our community come together in support of our school.

Thanks to your generosity, the Walkathon raised over $48,000, bringing our total for Giving Month + Walkathon to $168,000 — just 16% shy of our $200K annual goal.

💡 There’s still time to help us close the gap! You can return to the Walkathon registration page to make a donation for your student. Any contribution of $100 or more qualifies your student for prizes, which can be selected by the end of today from the Prize Store!

Attention 1st Grade Families! April is your month for Staff Appreciation!

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!

Nominate Super Volunteers!

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.
