Thank you Walk-a-thon Team!

Walk-a-thon is one of the most memorable experiences for students and we’d like to extend a special thank you to our team members who made Walk-a-thon possible this year  – Kathy Hotchkies, Erika Dowd, Erin Miller, Faranak Sorooshian, Jessica Wang, Farangis Sepehri, Shalini Thuppal, Sonali Bhargava and long-time data management mastermind Goms Sundaresan.  A special shout out to Karin Hargrove for brainstorming support!

We also extend a HUGE Thank You to the PTSA Communications Team – Neha Bhuta, Navaz Nekoo, Amy Karlson, Vasu Jain, Yao and Heather Sherman, for working tirelessly in getting information in a timely fashion to all families.

And Thank You to Dusty Steere, Erin Stedman, Connie Kramer, Kathy Bessler, Bon Regala and all teachers for helping us bring this special event back to our comm(unity). Thank you all!

The PTSA Communications team has two volunteer openings for the 2022-2023 school year.

First, we are seeking a VP for Communications, which involves overseeing the work of the editor/s who put together the weekly Charger Chatter newsletter, the PTSA website and Facebook page, and the online student directory. Time commitment is approximately 2 hours/week. Technical knowledge is not required.

Second, one of our webmaster parents is graduating out of Cherry Crest. We seek a co-webmaster for helping keep our website current and informative. Job responsibilities include adding news posts each week, and modifying, editing, or retiring webpages. Responsibilities will be shared, and typically involves 2 hours of work, two weeks of every month. The skills needed to maintain our Wordpress website are easy to pick up, so no prior skillset is required.

If you are interested in joining this motivated team of volunteers, please contact VP.1@cherrycrest-ptsa.org.

On Friday, May 6th, from 6:00-8:00pm, we will have a STEM social in the Cherry Crest Cafeteria.

Please RVSP at: http://t.ly/HQ_n

We’ll give an overview of this year’s Math Club. How it went, and appreciation, and any feedback from the community and we will introduce next year’s plan for Math, Science and Robotics.

We will encourage all math club kids with medals on their success, followed by an ice-cream social.

This event is open to all rising 3rd grade, 4th grade, 5th grade, current 5th grade kids, and parents from Cherry Crest who are interested.

For any questions, please contact mathclub@cherrycrest-ptsa.org
