What a fantastic Walkathon! The energy, enthusiasm, and school spirit on display were truly inspiring. Students walked, cheered, danced, and supported one another throughout the event, creating memories that will last all year long.
Most importantly, our Cherry Crest community came together to support the programs, enrichment opportunities, and experiences that make our school extraordinary.
On behalf of the Cherry Crest PTSA, thank you to every student, parent, teacher, volunteer, sponsor, and donor who made this event possible.

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

Our Annual Volunteer Tea on June 9 was a wonderful celebration of the many volunteers who help make our school community thrive. The morning included coffee, tea, breakfast, flower arranging, and the presentation of our Golden Acorn Awards to volunteers who have gone above and beyond in service to our school. One of the most memorable moments was the volunteer parade through the building, where students lined the halls with handmade signs and cheers of appreciation. It was a heartwarming reminder of the impact our volunteers have every day. Thank you to all who give their time, energy, and talents to support our students and staff!
