Our final fundraiser of the school year is officially here! On Friday, June 5th, our students will be hitting the field for the annual Cherry Crest Walk-a-thon. This is an incredible community tradition, and this year, we have set a goal to raise $40,000 to support our school’s vital programs.
|
Every lap counts, and every donation brings us closer to our goal. Here is everything you need to know to get ready:
Step 1: Complete the Required Permission Slip
Step 2: Donate & Support Your Grade

Walkathon is our year end fundraiser to close the $40k PTSA budget gap for the year. We are excited to bring you this community event before the end of the school year.
|
There will be opportunities for parents to participate too just like last year and grade level prizes for participating and fundraising.

This is an after school event from 2:30pm to 4pm. Parent supervision is required and permission slips will be sent home for participating.

Each Grade is assigned one month to focus their efforts… April is your month!
