The Cherry Crest Clinic provides extra clothes for students who get dirty, have accidents, etc. The Clinic’s supply has gotten very low– they are in need of items for boys and girls: pants, tops, underwear, socks, and sweatshirts. All sizes are needed, especially for Kindergarten-3rd grade.

We’re seeking enthusiastic volunteers to assist with conducting hearing screenings under the guidance of our trained professionals. Training will be provided ahead of the screenings in person, virtually or via video tutorial for late Sept through October.

Register for Cherry Crest math club (grades 2-5)!

Picture Day is September 24th, where your student will have both individual and class group photos. Online order instructions will be sent home with your child, so please be sure to check their backpacks. If your child misses the September 24th date or you are unhappy with their photo, there will be a make up picture day on November 19th.

We need parent volunteers to help our wonderful librarians Mrs. Lux and Mrs. McClelland. Volunteers must attend a training first if they haven’t volunteered before in the library. The first training will be on Tuesday 9/17 at 2:40 PM.

The Girls on the Run Spring 2024 Season is right around the corner and we have limited spots available on the Cherry Crest team!

Girls on the Run is so much more than running. 3rd through 5th grade participants will have fun, make friends, increase their physical activity levels, and learn important life skills.

Meetings take place at Cherry Crest and will be on Mondays and Thursdays, 2:30-4:00 pm.

Congratulations! There were over 80 submissions to the Cherry Crest Library’s Annual Pumpkin Book Character/Book Cover Contest.
