Happy Wednesday Cherrydale Families!
As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you. Our school community is truly special, and your support, dedication, and kindness make Cherrydale such a wonderful place for our students to learn and grow.
Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on what we are thankful for, and I am incredibly thankful for each and every one of you - our students, families, and staff. Your partnership and commitment to making Cherrydale a welcoming place makes a positive difference every day, and I appreciate your partnership to support our students' education and well-being.
I hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving break. May it be a time for rest and rejuvenation as we celebrate all that we are thankful for.
Wishing all our Cherrydale Cheetahs a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Warm Regards,
Christine Firth, Principal

As of this year, all Cherrydale students will have the opportunity to have one breakfast and one lunch for free every day! If a student chooses a second entrée, it will be charged to student’s account.
