NO SCHOOL TOMORROW, Friday, November 10
in observance of Veterans Day
From the Office
Veterans Day Assemblies
The two short Veterans Day Assemblies on Wednesday were the most fun you can have in 20 minutes!
The students had been practicing with our music teacher, Mrs. Jenne and did a fantastic job singing a song honoring our Military heroes. The JBLM Big Foot Brass Band entertained the students with a lively concert and they were presented with a banner of Cherrydale related Veterans, put together by Kindergarten teacher, Katie Dyer.
Below is a link to view the videos.
Have a great weekend!

PTA Spirit Week Nov. 13-17
Impact Aid
Have you filled out the Impact Aid form yet?
It is important the district receives one completed form for every student whether or not their parents/guardians live or work on federal property, because each completed form generates revenue for the district.
The first K-3 class to reach a 100% return rate will receive an ice cream party with a surprise guest, and all classes with a 100% return rate will receive popsicles.
The results will be announced no later than November 22, 2023.

From Nurse Emily
Although each child should have an extra set of clothes in their backpack, there are still cases when clothes are needed in the health room, especially elastic waistband pants and leggings. If you have any to donate that your kids have outgrown, they would be appreciated.
