Improve Essay Skills with The Writer’s League

We are a group of Juniors at Interlake High School who run a weekend essay-writing workshop called The Writers’ League for 5th through 7th graders. The workshop consists of 6 total hours of instruction across 4 days (plus homework) and teaches skills to supplement what students learn in English class. We have taught multiple courses in the past six months, and are offering another set of classes this spring and summer. The next session will be held March 13,14, 20 and 21 from 10-11:30am each day with another session available in June. The cost to participate is $20. Visit our website: http://writersleague.net to register.

New Virtual Clubs at Cherry Crest

Cherry Crest Elementary is starting several clubs to help our students stay connected to our school community, including a Gardening Club, Storyteller’s Club, Jump Rope Club, and a Lunch Bunch Club. Find more details about how to join each club and when they meet on the PTSA website.

Scholastic Book Fair (like everything else) is going virtual this year! 

The Scholastic Book Fair will be held on-line from February 22 to March 7th.

This will still be a wonderful opportunity to purchase books for your children, family and friends, as well as support our school! 100% of the proceeds are used to purchase new books and programs for the Cherry Crest library.

Please look for more details and information in the next Charger Chatter newsletter!
