Principal Steere Shares Responses to Staff Appreciation Events
|
On behalf of all Cherry Crest staff, thank you for taking time last week to honor and celebrate the teachers and staff at our school. Whether it was a heartfelt thank you card, a personalized work of art from a student, or a flower, we were overwhelmed with the outpouring of gratitude and support! Students did a marvelous job expressing gratitude and encouragement to staff via the Padlet as well—so impressive!
|
|
On top of the what students provided last week, Cherry Crest’s amazing PTSA spoiled our staff with hot drinks, boxed lunches and goodie bags for both in-person and virtual staff! A special thank you to PTSA Staff Appreciation Chair Kathy Hotchkies for organizing all these efforts.

COVID is spreading like wildfire in India. Cases have soared 46% over two weeks, according to the New York Times, while deaths are up 120%. India needs help, now. I urge the Cherry Crest Community to come together in this critical time and help me raise funds to send oxygen to India. I’m working directly with a volunteer team of doctors in India who are helping me identify rural areas that are not visible on the government distribution list. Why? Because I was born and raised in a rural county and I know those rural counties need our help!
