From October through March each grade level has generously contributed to care packages for Cherry Crest teachers, General School Assistants (GSAs) and Specialists. Each care package has brought such joy and PTSA is so thankful for your participation!
|
Next month we all come together to create care packages for our building staff including Mr. Steere, Mrs. Stedman, Ms. Nakamura, Nurse Amy, Ms. Lupita and many others. Please look out for the Sign Up link in next week’s Chatter for details.

Parents of Cherry Crest Elementary – we hope your 2021 is off to a good start! We – New Skylines Tutoring – are a new student-led, volunteer-based tutoring group for elementary students who might need help getting up to speed in English and/or reading or who just want additional instruction in these areas. We want to help any students who think they might benefit from our help (completely free of charge), especially those in underserved and underrepresented communities, including ESL/ELL students.
