PRINCIPAL'S CORNER:
Hello Natoma Station Families,
Cheetah Chase
Thank you to everyone who helped make this year's Cheetah Chase a HUGE SUCCESS!! Special thanks to Monica DeWall for the countless hours she put into organizing the event. I also want to thank all the parents who helped with creating flyers, putting up and taking down the decorations, setting up the course, and ordering the t-shirts. In addition, thank you to Jacob Cantu who stepped in at the last minute to take awesome pictures of our Cheetahs! I am happy to report that not only did we meet our $20,000 goal, but we surpassed it!! I will share the amount of money that we raised once the final tally is in. Remember, we will accept donations until October 21st. In the meantime, I am preparing to get SLIMED!
