Cherry Drive Weekly Update
October 8, 2021
Dear Cherry Drive Families,
We are so excited to kickoff our 3 week Fall Pumpkin Run Fundraiser on Monday. The Pumpkin Run event will serve as our BIG fall fundraiser! Not only does it give our families the opportunity to support our students and school, but the students also gain an interactive social experience with their peers in this high-energy environment! The fundraiser will run from Monday, October 11-Friday, October 29th. The culmination of our fundraiser will be a Pumpkin Run in the neighborhood. Parents/Guardians are welcome to come join the fun, cheer your child on and/or even run with your child! We also need volunteers to man stations. (Sign up below)
Students will bring home an informational packet and envelope this Monday with all the details/how to donate. You can also find all the information and how to donate on this website: https://cherrydrive.weebly.com. Donations can be made online and we accept cash/checks. Our goal is $10,000 so we are grateful for your contributions to create meaningful learning experiences for students! ALL Proceeds will go to Cherry Drive and will help us get new technology like interactive whiteboards in classrooms.
