Olga Brener PTO Cherrydale Fundraiser - KOF
Our big fundraiser starts ON MONDAY! Our goal is to raise $4,000.00 Field Trips, Student Agendas, Author visits, and 5th grade t-shirts!.
We are asking ALL parents to pre-register their student(s) here:
https://www.shopfund.com/parentregister
Please get at least one person to support our fundraiser before our official kick-off day. Any student that is registered and gets 10 shares clicked will be entered into a drawing for over $100,000 worth of prizes. How cool would it be if we took a chunk out of our goal BEFORE the fundraiser even starts?
Thank you so much for your help!

Heathy Smiles 2023
School Based Dental Program Coming to Your School
Did you know that cavities can be prevented? Dental sealants can prevent 80% of cavities in back teeth, where 9 in 10 cavities occur. Sealants are a quick, easy and painless way to prevent most cavities children get and they can be applied by a dentist or dental hygienist right in schools.
Healthy Smiles, llc. will be providing oral health services including dental sealants through the Wisconsin Seal-A-Smile program at no charge to students or families. All students in grades PK -12 are eligible.
A consent form must be filled out before any child can participate. Please visit https://sealasmile.wisconsin.gov/Consent/Home/About to learn more and sign your child up today. If you already turned in a paper consent this school year, you do not need to sign up electronically.
Please sign up by Tuesday October 31, 2023.
