Staff Appreciation Throughout the Year

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 stock the staff room as well as encourage teachers and staff with periodic breakfasts. Each Grade is assigned one month to focus their efforts and many items can be delivered by your student.
