I will do my best and not waste this day,
For this day will not come again.

For at Cherry Elementary,

For at Cherry Elementary,

Cherry Elementary has a Student Council. 

Started during the 2015-2016 school year, the Student Council plays a big role in the success of events around our campus. They serve as a safety patrol outside in the morning, extra hands at events such as Pre-K Rodeo and Field Day, and do fund raising events to help with the school activity fund. Currently, the student council is for 5th grade students only. 

Cherry Elementary has a PTA!

Cherry PTA is a partnership between our students, parents, teachers, and community organizations that work together to help support our campus vision. PTA's mission is to create and provide engaging and meaningful experiences for students. Some examples of our favorite activities include Fall Festival and Merry Cherry Christmas. This past school year, our members also voted for $1500.00 in scholarships for financial aid for students attending summer academies. Anyone can become a PTA member and get connected.
