From the Office
Thursday saw our 100th day of school. We displayed '100' themed artwork by students in the hallway. Some were beautiful, some were creative, all were fun.
Last night was the PTA Talent Show! Students from Cherrydale danced, sang, performed solo, or in groups. There are lots of future stars in the school.
Today, the kindergarten classes led a parade celebrating the Lunar New Year. The handmade dragon made it's way through the Cherrydale halls, bringing smiles to students and staff alike.
See below for pictures. Enjoy your weekend!
