Yearbook – Cover winner! Call for Photos! Order your Yearbook now!

Congratulations Syrina Chen – Yearbook cover contest winner!!

It was a great showing for this year’s Yearbook cover contest with over 20 submissions!! Out of this extremely challenging field, Syrina’s creativity rose to the top, and we are pleased to name her the winner of this year’s contest. She filled the page with color, thought, and vision.  Thank you to those that submitted drawings; the imagination starting from just a theme “spread kindness like confetti” blew our socks off.  Everyone submitted something unique which allows for a bunch of diversified entries (look for them around school).  Looking forward to seeing what the kids come up with next year!

We need your 2022 – 2023 photos for the Yearbook!

Volunteered on a field trip? Ventured into your child’s classroom? Attended school events?  We KNOW you took pictures. The yearbook will not be complete without the amazing candid photos that we know parents love to take at various events and volunteering opportunities.  Please submit your photos to our community website at LifeTouch to remove friction from your submission!

YEARBOOKS ARE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE

Don’t miss out having your own copy of Syrina’s amazing cover!  Yearbooks are available for purchase through May 4, 2023.  enter code:  1577523

Staff Appreciation for April – 1st Grade

Attention 1st Grade Families! April is your month for Staff Appreciation!
What is Staff Appreciation? Each year Cherry Crest families show their appreciation for our outstanding educators by volunteering to provide food, beverages, and paper products throughout the school year to help restock the staff room and encourage our teachers with a monthly breakfast. Each Grade is assigned one month to focus their efforts… April is your month!

Creating Healthy Eaters & General PTSA Membership Meeting TONIGHT!

Come join us on Tues, March 28th for a live discussion in the school cafeteria at 6:30pm with special guests, Jessie Wong and Kristy Fassio, Registered Dietician Nutritionists. They’ll share their thoughts on how to help “picky” eaters eat better, while building positive relationships with food & our bodies. As March is National Nutrition Month, it’s the perfect time to learn more about how to help your family eat healthy and prevent eating disorders.

After the special guest Q&A, we’ll have the PTSA General Membership meeting starting at 7:30pm. This combined event will also be available via Teams if you can’t make it in person.

Shout out to 4th Grade Curriculum Enhancement Team
