After two years of virtual field day activities, students are eager to participate in all the outdoor games and activities during this fun-filled all-school end-of-year event.

It takes close to 100 volunteers before, during, and after this event to make Field Day run smoothly! Please sign up at http://t.ly/Pnoj to volunteer and help us make this end of year event fun for all.

Per BSD policy all volunteers must be approved volunteers (with background checks from within the past three years. See https://bsd405.org/get-involved/volunteer/ for details). Because this is a school-day activity, siblings who are not Cherry Crest students may not attend.

As a small token of our appreciation, the Cherry Crest Staff invites our amazing Cherry Crest Comm(UNITY) volunteers to join us for a Volunteer Appreciation Coffee and Awards Ceremony in the café on Friday, May 20th at 8:15am

Whether you have helped in the classroom, library, lunchroom, playfield or on a field trip, we want to thank you!  Our program includes personalized messages of thanks from classroom staff, the presentation of the PTSA Golden Acorn Award and an opportunity for volunteers to provide input for your hopes, dreams and desires for family engagement in 2022/23.

To help us in planning, please register your intention to attend at http://bit.ly/3l9HPrP
