A Message From Your PTSA

Cherry Crest Families, We hope you and your families are doing well as we embark on the next few weeks of change. We want to thank all of the teachers, staff, and parent volunteers who put in extra time these past few weeks as the public health situation in our area requires our attention and resources. Given the rapidly changing environment, we are guiding you to district supplied information. Please know that we are still connected as a community even if we cannot meet in person.  We will update and inform you as we go. Be well and stay well, Karin and Britt  Co-Presidents Cherry Crest Elementary PTSA
