Well, folks, we’ve made it to the final hours! The 10pm closing on bidding for our 2020 auction is just around the corner! While we still have your attention, we want to take a moment to Thank You for your support of our school this week with some friendly faces from across the community. So, grab your kiddos and please enjoy the video messages from our Principal Dusty Steere, and a heartfelt montage from our wonderful teachers and staff. 

Of course, no newsletter would be complete without links for how you can give. Your dollars will go further because of the continued support of our major sponsors Krills, Gallaghers, and Kaliber, who will match all Teacher Support donations DOLLAR-FOR-DOLLAR!

Have a wonderful rest of your weekend and Go Chargers!

Welcome to the FINAL day of the Cherry Crest 2020 Online Auction! 

Hello everyone! The finish line is in sight and this is the time to check your bids, nab your keepsakes, and give generously in these final hours of our all-new-format online auction. Bidding ends promptly at 10pm tonight! We have two special videos to share this morning: a final message from our dapper auctioneer Matt Lorch, who has stuck by our side all week with his energy and enthusiasm for our amazing school, and a message from our PTSA co-presidents Karin Hargrove and Britt Heath about why this is an important time to support our school.

Please consider raising your virtual paddle to make a cash donation directly to Teacher Support and Curriculum Enhancement projects. Breaking news of the day: due to the generosity of our major sponsors Krills, Gallaghers, and Kaliber, we are grateful and excited to be able to match all Teacher Support donations DOLLAR-FOR-DOLLAR – your donation will go twice as far!

Good evening friends! Just One. More. Day. After. Today! The final theme of our online auction is fitting as we inch closer to the finish line: keepsakes to keep Cherry Crest memories alive! A wonderful way for your child to remember their 2019-2020 year is to purchase a Teacher Book. These books are hand-selected by your child’s teacher and when you buy one, you will also get a personalized inscription dedicated to your child. Unlike the majority of items in the auction catalog where only the highest bidder wins, memories have no limit – there is a teacher book for everyone! Browse the teacher books for your child’s grade below and for just $25 you can surprise your child with a fond token from this all-too-short school year. And if your child is a voracious reader, make sure to check out the books offered by the Principal, Assistant Principal and School Librarian in the School VIP category!

Please also consider raising your virtual paddle in our newly-added Fund A Need category to make a cash donation directly to Teacher Support and Curriculum Enhancement projects!

Welcome to Day 4 of the online auction! 

Today’s theme is all about bidding on items that will memorialize your child’s elementary school years and keep them remembering the special teachers and friends they made at Cherry Crest. Our tireless auctioneer Matt Lorch will give you an overview of these items, and Cherry Crest parent and Classroom Art co-chair Loni Hayhurst will tell you about the classroom art and why these art pieces are such a heartwarming tradition at the Cherry Crest Auction. Be sure to check out your grade level pages for those projects as many have photos of the students in the act of creating their masterpieces!

And while you are there, please consider raising your virtual paddle in our newly-added Fund A Need category to make a cash donation directly to Teacher Support and Curriculum Enhancement projects.

Good evening Cherry Crest Families! As we wrap up Day 3 and our theme of V.I.P. experiences, we bring you a message from one of our very own V.I.P.s: Mrs. Erin Stedman! She is excited to say hello and tell you about the Assistant Principal For a Day item up for bid (with help from a couple of very cute production assistants!). Don’t miss it!

Welcome to Day 3 of the online auction! 

We had a strong first day out of the gate Tuesday, but as of today only about 20% of parents have registered at the auction site. Make sure to tell your friends and families that there is no cost to register, and when they do, they will have the opportunity to win a $50 gift card at local favorite Mercury’s Coffee!

Today’s theme is all about making you and your child feel like a V.I.P. (Very Important Person)! From special recognition at school (such as a personalized street sign, bike spot, school brick, or scrolling reader board message), to rare access to “behind the scenes” jobs, these items are without a doubt the most hotly-contested offerings each year! Our favorite host Matt Lorch will tell you more about these unique experiences, and then be sure click on the buttons below to jump directly to those items in the catalog. See you there!
