Cheetah Parents and Guardians,

On May 22nd, Cherry Street will be having the school's Field Day. This year, we are inviting parents to attend, but they must be pre-registered with the front office BEFORE the day of the event (Mon-Thurs the week of the event). Additionally, all students will be sent home a permission slip between now and the event and they must have it signed in order to participate. We will be selling snacks after all the races are done to raise money for the PE program. Everything will be $1 each. The schedule of events will be: Kindergarten-2nd grade is 8-10 am / 3rd-5th grade is 11:30 am-1:30 pm. I have attached our flyer with all these details. Please contact the school with any questions you may have.
