Cherry Run News October 10

Dear Cherry Run Families,

We’ve made it through a full week of school, and it’s been wonderful to see students settling into their routines and engaging in learning. Many of our before and after school clubs are in full swing, and Running Club members have especially enjoyed making the most of the beautiful fall weather. 

We recognize that the ongoing government shutdown may be creating challenges for some of our families. Please refer to Dr. Reid’s recent email for helpful resources at home, and know that we’re here to support you and your children in any way we can.  

As we approach the end of the first quarter, we encourage families to check in on student progress and stay connected with teachers for continued support.  Please look out for information from your child's teacher regarding our upcoming conference days in early November.

Maura Donahue and Miranda Goss
