G5 VLOG249 "Turkey Bowl 2022"

 

 

Turkey Bowl XIX

Our 19th annual Turkey Bowl was a legendary battle of titans.  Both teams came prepared to do what it took to emerge victorious.  When the dust settled, there could only be one... and that one was Mrs. Tamayo's Potatoes!!!  Both teams put their hearts, minds, and esprit de corp into the competition and we were proud of their sportsmanship and positive spirit!!  Great job by both teams and we are looking forward to the next Shoda competition!

Final Score:

Regala's Dafeet 28

Tamayo's Potatoes 49

G5 VLOG248 "Halloween 2022"

 

It's a little late... :)

 

Coming Soon... Halloween 2022

Dear Cherry Crest Families, 

As October 31^st approaches, many of your children may be talking about wearing a costume to school for the upcoming Halloween or Fall Festival Celebrations in their classroom.  While each celebration might look a little different depending on the grade level and/or classroom teacher please know that Cherry Crest has consistent expectations in regards to costumes, treats and activities.    

Costume Guidelines. 

• Student costumes are optional and allowed.  Costumes may not include any blood, guts, gore, or weapons.  Students may not wear a mask that covers their eyes/head, but face paint is acceptable.  Costumes should not demonstrate cultural appropriation (taking dress or expressions from a culture that is not your own without showing you understand or respect the culture). 
• If your child would like to wear a costume to celebrate, the costume should be worn to and from school.  It is difficult for us to find adequate changing space and adult help in assisting students with costume apparel.  
• Students who arrive at school with a costume that does not meet our requirements, or a costume that detracts from the learning environment, will be asked to call home for a change of clothes. 

Classroom Treats.

• Please work with your classroom teacher to determine best treats.  It is important to be allergy aware as many of our students have life threatening allergies.
• As per board policy, we may only offer store bought treats (nothing homemade) with ingredients readily available to check for safety of allergies. 

Classroom Activities

• Should you wish for your child not to partake in any classroom Fall Festival/Halloween activities, the school will have an alternate activity available to make sure all students are included on this day.  Please email your child’s teacher and Principal Steere (steered@bsd405.org) no later than Thursday October  27^th if this is of interest to you for your child. 

Parking

• Any parents volunteering or participating in classroom celebrations on October 31^st should expect limited to no parking on campus. 
• Plan extra time for parking in the neighborhood and walking into school.  DO NOT park in any waiting lanes or red stripped fire lanes as doing so creates a nightmare for afternoon pickup.  
• Refer to our website for any questions related to Cherry Crest Drop Off and PickUp Procedures.  http://www.bsd405.org/cherrycrest/resources/drop-off-pickup/

G5 Spooky Scavenger Hunt!

Fifth graders are hosting a Spooky Scavenger Hunt in the gym on Monday, October 31.  This will be an optional activity during recess.  Students can choose to walk through the gym and look for mini pumpkins hidden amongst the spooky decorations.  Once they are done, students will receive a Dum Dum lollipop and exit outside to regular recess.  5th graders will greet, help and congratulate students throughout the experience.  To ensure a fun event, the gym lights will be on for Kindergartners, 1st graders and 2nd graders.  Older students can expect a slightly dimmer experience (no lights but the gym has skylights).  Please share this information with your student so they can decide in advance.  Questions? E-mail 5thgradeevents@cherrycrest-ptsa.org

G5 VLOG246 "Magic Pickle"

 

Thank you to all the chaperones who walked, ran, and jogged, with the students throughout Bridal Trails State Park.  The G5 met their goals of working as a team, navigating using a map, and compass.  Plus... no one got lost... :)
