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!

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.
