Cheetah Newsletter October 20, 2023
From the Office
Dolly Parton's Imagination Library supports early literacy by providing one book per month, every month, to children from birth to age 5, at no cost to families. Most of our Cherrydale students are older than 5, but we wanted to share this with our families who have younger children at home.
How It Works
Each month, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library mails a high quality, age appropriate book to all registered children, addressed to them, at no cost to the child’s family.

Tuesday, October 24 is Make Up Picture Day
If your student was absent on - or enrolled after - September 18, they will have their picture taken on Tuesday, October 24.
See the PTA Corner below for more information about the Dance-a-thon.
Thank you!

✨🐾 WE NEED YOUR HELP! 🐾✨
We have just 12 more days to reach our goal! 🩷
Keep in mind when considering donating that ALL funds raised go towards all of the amazing things that your PTA gets to put on for our kiddos! This includes paying for fields trips, staff appreciation, providing every student with a Cherrydale shirt, and SO much more through the year!!
Without meeting our goals we won’t be able to do all of this, so it means so much to us for each and every one of you who choose to participate and partner with us! 🍒
We’ve calculated and if every student raises $50 we will meet our goal AND they will get a prize!

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.
