Coffee with the Principal on Apr 26

Ms. Marchant will be hosting an additional coffee with the Principal on Apr 26th, right after Friday Flag . She and a few select teachers will be presenting on the new In-school hands-on Science Program by SimpliScience. She will be sharing the details around its objectives, achievements and expectations for next year. You will also hear from some of the Cherry Chase students.



It should not take more than 20-30 minutes. It is a great opportunity for parents to get to know about this program and voice their opinion. 

International Night Volunteer Sign Up

International Night will be on Friday, May 3, 5:00-7:30pm! Join us in a celebration of the diversity of countries and cultures represented within our Cherry Chase community. You're invited to wear traditional clothing and bring your own reusable plate and utensils for food samples.

This amazing event needs you to help make it happen! Sign up today: Int'l Night Vol. Sign-Up

There are multiple slots to allow folks to help for part of the event and participate in the rest.

Spring Scholastic Book Fair

Your help is important to making the book fair a success. We will need your help setting up, operating the cash registers, assisting students and families, and taking everything down at the end. Sign up as a volunteer:

Thank You for a Successful Walkathon

Thank you to everyone who participated and donated to the Walk-a-thon and Auction. We had an amazing event on 3/22 and had great pledge donation participation over the following 2 weeks. We are excited to share the results and winners during our Friday Flag Walk-a-thon Awards Ceremony on 5/10. (And if your student brought in >$275, please save the date for the Grand Prize Movie Night on 5/17.)

Walk-a-thon takes a large village to manage the event, with 10 parents on the steering committee, and another 30 volunteers helping to set-up outside of the event day. We are starting to recruit now for next year, for roles including the Chair/Coordinator (to keep us on track), Graphic designer (to translate the winning t-shirt design into a printable form), T-Shirt Sponsor Coordinator (to track t-shirt sponsors and support them at their tables, like the cotton candy Integrum Construction brought this year), posting signs (to raise awareness of the event and pledge donation status), etc. If you love the event, please reach out to WATA@cherrychasepta.org to see how you can participate next year.
