Thank you to our Cherry Run Community!

 

Thank you to the Cherry Run community for your incredible support of the Glow Run Fundraiser—we truly appreciate your enthusiasm and generosity! A special shout-out to our amazing corporate partners for sponsoring our t-shirts and making it possible for every student and staff member to receive one at no cost. Thanks to their support, all participants will head home on Monday after our big event with their brand-new shirts. We’re so grateful to everyone who helped make this event such a success! The donation window will close in 6 days if you'd still like to give.

International Night

 

Cherry Run’s International Night was a vibrant celebration of culture, community, and connection—and it would not have been possible without the incredible support of our families, staff, and volunteers. On behalf of the PTA, we extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated and contributed their time, talents, and traditions to make the evening such a success.

With 20 countries represented, the event showcased the rich diversity of our school community through beautifully curated displays, traditional attire, and delicious cuisine. It was truly inspiring to see our community come together to share and celebrate cultures from around the world.

We are also proud to share that Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid recognized the Cherry Run Elementary School (CRES) community in her weekly blog, highlighting the impact of this special event. You can read her message here:Superintendent's Weekly Reflections | Fairfax County Public Schools

Thank you again to everyone who made International Night such a memorable and meaningful experience for our students and families.

bike to school

 

Wednesday, May 6th, is Bike & Roll to School Day. Biking, scootering, or skateboarding to school is fun, healthy, and environmentally friendly. Regular exercise, just 10 minutes at a time, helps your heart, lungs, and bones.  So, strap on those helmets and bike, scooter, or skateboard to school on May 6th!

Mrs. Dixon will be out front at the Bike & Roll table to hand out prizes to all students that participate!

Please email Mrs. Dixon at jadixon1@fcps.edu if you have any questions!
