Attention Kindergarten Families! February 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… February is your month!

📣 PTSA General Meeting – January 27 at 7 PM(virtual) 📣 

Join us virtually for the PTSA General Meeting on January 27 at 7pm(online!) to hear school updates, connect with other families, and share ideas. All parents and caregivers are welcome.

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!
