Urgent Need for Walkathon Volunteers

Walk-A-Thon is this Friday March 22,1-4pm. This event cannot happen without your help! We only have 1 of 47 volunteers needed in the 3:15-4:15pm slot. Lap tracking, food stations, and walker prizes are high priority needs. Many other shifts throughout the day could also use more help! Please sign up as a volunteer to help staff the event or lend some gear.

Questions? Contact wata@cherrychasepta.org.

Walk-A-Thon's Auction is now Live!

As part of our annual Walk-A-Thon event, you'll get the chance to bid on great prizes and experiences throughout this week leading up to Walk-a-Thon!

Bid now on offerings including unique teacher experiences, museum passes, a parent-hosted poker tournament and more!

Questions? Please contact walkathondonations@cherrychasepta.org

Walk-a-Thon Fundraising With 99Pledges

This year, asking for pledge donations is SUPER easy with 99pledges! Each student has a personal pledge page they can quickly share with friends & family. Search for your student's page using their first name.

The online fundraiser is off to a good start but we have a long way to go. Please access your student's pledge page, make a donation and spread the word. Here is the online fundraiser class participation chart as of 3/17. Classes with 100% participation or class with the most participation (each student bringing in >$15 in pledge donations) will earn a pizza party!

PTA Meeting on Mar 20 at 7pm

Your PTA Dollars At Work

Classroom Emergency Supplies

Thanks to your generous support, Cherry Chase PTA has funded the replenishment of emergency supplies for each classroom. They are stored in a sturdy backpack for teachers to easily take with them in an emergency situation. Thank you to Brenda Fox-Grugett in the front office for putting these together.
