Spotlight on General School Assistants
|
Each week we highlight some of the many ways our General School Assistants (GSAs) work hard both in front of cameras and behind the scenes to support our teachers and students during distance learning. Here are some words from GSA Sarah L.:
|
|
“Hi, I am Sarah L. a GSA at Cherry Crest. I met with a family who needed help learning how to sign on to Clever and the STAR testing site, then stayed with that student during the assessment. The student said that they appreciated me letting them finish the test. I told them I was there for them and made sure to answer any questions there were. The student was working hard. I was so glad to be able to help in this way!”
|
|
Did you know our biggest investment as a PTSA is funding more General School Assistants to help our teachers and students? Funding comes from parents and community members, through direct donations, corporate matching, and opportunities like Amazon Smile and "Give with Bing". Read more about GSAs on the PTSA website!

Help us find the PTSA leaders for the next school year!
|
The current Executive Committee of the PTSA seeks individuals to form a Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee helps fill vacant Executive Committee positions for the 2021-2022 school year. This is a short-term project taking place in January and involves attending 2-3 meetings.

Ms. Judy Brison, our P.E. teacher, identified the need of movement for children, especially at a time like this when they are homebound, and is planning some fun ways to incorporate exercise. With funding from PTSA, every student has received a jump rope which was picked up along with the Read-a-thon t-shirt. Thank you, Ms. Brison!

Here is what Ms. Brison has to say about the jump ropes. . . .
