PTSA Presidents' End of Year Letter
|
Dear Cherry Crest Parents,
Welcome to the last Chatter of the school year! As always, it’s gone by so fast!
Thank you to our amazing community for making it a wonderful year!
Thanks to your generous donations
we have continued to provide Cherry Crest students with Curriculum Enhancement Activities (field trips, visiting authors, science workshops, art projects, all school assembly events), family events (fall festival, festival of cultures, variety show, spelling bee and so many more ...) and Classroom Instructional Aides at every grade level.
Cherry Crest is lucky to have so many parents who care and contribute to making it such a unique and successful school. We have seen you helping in the classrooms, field trips, family nights, fundraisers, enrichment activities as well as the many unseen helping hands, from home and during late evening hours.
We are ever so GRATEFUL to be part of such comm(UNITY) and we THANK YOU all!
A huge thank you to our wonderful EC members
–
Dave Fandel, Vatchala Renganathan, Jamie Bland, Shalini Thuppal, Sejal Nanavati, Jyoti Rasal, Sheli Hadari, Belinda Chan & Lubdha Khandelwal
for their dedication and willingness to serve our Comm(Unity) this year!
We would like to give
a special thank you to our Communication Team,
who EVERY WEEK delivers to you the Chatter, updates the PTSA website and keeps the PTSA Facebook page up to date. Thank you,
Heather Sherman, Jaya Sugathan, Namita Sheokand, Charanya Neelakantan, Catherine Schifano, Di Wang, Amy Karlson and Vatchala Renganathan
!
On behalf of the Cherry Crest PTSA, we wish you a very great summer! Good luck to our 5th graders getting ready for the middle school adventure, and looking forward to meeting new students and families joining us in the fall.
Yours,
Chelsea Lientz & Karin Hargrove

PTSA Funded Curriculum Enhancement
|
Cherry Crest students enjoyed another year of fantastic enrichment opportunities in 2018-2019. Thank you to the teachers, volunteers and staff for helping us incorporate
over 50 activities
to enhance learning for our children throughout the school year. All activities were funded by the PTSA through generous donations raised at this year's
Walkathon
,
Auction
and
Readathon.
A huge THANK YOU to our awesome Curriculum Enhancement Coordinators; without them, the visiting authors, museum tours, science workshops, harbor boat rides and animal encounters would never happen. They work tirelessly to get events scheduled, rooms booked, and volunteers coordinated.
Kindergarten - Nhimy Chung
1st Grade - Kelly Bach
2nd Grade - Erin Milller & Elma Nahm
3rd Grade - Anne Kovolansky & Nina Abelman
4th Grade - Dionne Gallagher & Danna

Finally, big thanks to our Curriculum Enhancement VP, Jamie Bland!

Thanks to All Our Field Day Volunteers
|
Thank you for the wonderful volunteer support on Field Day! What a fun way to celebrate the year end, our kids wouldn't be able to do this without our parents offering their time on this day!
Thank you also to all the amazing teachers who worked hard to make this day very special for all the kids despite thunderstorm and rain showers.

Check and Update Your District Contact Information
|
At the start of the school year, the PTSA distributes a printed directory to all families. Get a head start! Check your district contact information and confirm that it is correct for you and your student(s). Visit
ParentVue
, then:
Select "My account" at the top and review/update email, address and parent name information.
Review the "Student Info" section
for each student
. If "Exclude from directory" is "N", your student and family information
will appear
in the directory. Otherwise, your student's name
may
appear if we can confirm their presence with their teacher, but no family or address information will be printed.
To update any information select the
"Online Student Verification Tab"
at the top of the page.

School Supply Lists Coming Soon
|
Recommended school supply lists for 2019-2020 are still under development, due to district-level changes. Watch for an update from Principal Steere in late June with the school supply lists.
