Happy Wednesday Cherrydale Families!
We’re excited to remind you about our Dance-a-Thon happening tomorrow! It’s going to be a fantastic time for our students to have fun while supporting our school. Students are encouraged to wear their Cherrydale Spirit gear purchased by our PTA. If students choose to wear a costume, please be sure costumes are school appropriate and follow our guidelines outlined in our previous newsletter. Please remember to turn in all fundraising donations by tomorrow, as they play a crucial role for our PTA in funding various events and activities for our students.
We also want to highlight an upcoming event for our K-1 families. Next week, we’ll be hosting our Literacy Night on Wednesday, November 6th from 5-6 PM. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to see what we’re working on in phonics and reading instruction. We will also be providing resources to help support your child’s learning at home. A flyer for the event is attached to our newsletter. A literacy night event is in the works for grades 2-3 after the new year.
Thank you for your continued support of our Cheetah Community!

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. In the next few weeks, every family will be encouraged to complete a Free and Reduced Meal application, as this data is used to potentially keep this program going for next year!
