Count down to Walk-a-thon 2022! We hope to see all students and families join us on Friday, April 1 from 2:30 to 4:30pm at the school track. Come mingle with students, families, teachers, staff and our school mascot Champ! View the contents of the time capsule placed underground in 1989 and make suggestions for the new one! The Walk-a-thon is a long-revered community building event as well as one of our major fundraisers.
|
A special thank you to our wonderful sponsors for Walk-a-thon 2022! They make your donations go further by helping to underwrite the costs of this event. We appreciate their generous support of our children and community!

Please join us at our Cherry Crest PTSA General Membership meeting, Tuesday March 8th, via Microsoft Teams. Principal Steere will discuss various topics including the ‘Time Capsule’. We invite all families and community members to attend (PTSA membership is not required!).
|
Cherry Crest’s School Counselor, Mykela Fantone, will join us to discuss the Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum and the supplemental lessons she provides our students throughout the year. Learn the importance and why behind social-emotional learning, understand the district-wide curriculums used at the elementary level and see how you can access more information to reinforce these lessons at home. Questions? Contact your PTSA Co-President at president@cherrycrest-ptsa.org

Cherry Crest is hosting a Food Drive the week of March 7-11 to benefit Renewal Food Bank in Bellevue.
|
This food drive is organized by 5th graders from Girl Scout Troop 41164 as a part of their Bronze Award service project to raise awareness for food insecurity in our community. Troop 41164 has girls from both Bennett and Cherry Crest, and are hosting a concurrent food drive at Bennett Elementary.
|
Food drive donations (see http://t.ly/UNVU for list) can be dropped off in the marked collection bins located in each of the grade-level wings, in the entrance foyer, and outside the covered area in front of the school. These donations will be gathered by the girls daily and delivered to Renewal Food Bank at the end of the food drive.
