ThePTSA

Our PTSA helps enrich the academic experience of every student at Cherry Crest. We raise funds, volunteer at events, and help build a vibrant community that’s more than just a school.

In Bellevue School District, budget shortfalls are overcome with levies, grants and local fundraising. Cherry Crest PTSA provides approximately $200,000 annually to support Cherry Crest Elementary students, families and staff. We have talented teachers who rely on these funds to maintain the educational programs distinguishing Cherry Crest Elementary as the #1 Bellevue Elementary school and the #4 Elementary school in Washington.

Our goal is to raise $450 per student to continue this crucial aid.

  What we fund

We have two large fundraisers this year: 


Why Donate Now?

During these two fundraisers, our goal is to:

  • Raise $120K by Oct 31st
    • Unlock: Turn the School Dance into a Professionally DJ’ed Dance PLUS bring in pros to have your student learn a grade-level choreographed dance that’ll be showcased in February.
  • Raise $200K by April 15th
    • Unlock: Turn the Walkathon into a Color Run or Foam Run!

Please return your envelopes (instructions coming home to students) into the Envelope Drop at the Front Entrance or to your Teacher by October 2nd.

  • All classes who return 100% of their envelopes will get an extra Bubble Recess. 
  • All classes that donate $5K or more will get the extra Bubble Recess PLUS a Pizza Party.

Every dollar counts – please return your envelopes by October 2nd!

Please also remember to submit your donations for corporate matching if that is available to you. 

  • For those who submit corporate matches of $300 or more during our two fundraising sessions, you’ll get a Cherry Crest blanket. We have a limited supply, so please submit early. 

  • Please send proof of corporate matching submissions here to claim your custom blanket.

No matter how much you’re able to give at these fundraisers, we thank you for your contribution and investment in our children’s future!
