From the Principal From the Principal

Happy Wednesday Cherrydale Families!


We are excited to invite you to our Title 1 Touchdown for Success Math Night, focusing on engaging and hands-on strategies to support your 2nd and 3rd grade student's math learning! We are hosting this event next Wednesday, February 5th, from 5-6pm in our Multi-Purpose Room.


The event will be packed with valuable information and activities, including:


  • Math strategies you can use at home to help your child succeed.
  • Hands-on Manipulatives for math practice (yours to take home!)
  • Information on the Upcoming SBA Assessment for 3rd graders, helping you understand what to expect and how to prepare.

Whether your child is already thriving in math or could use a little extra support, this evening is for YOU! You'll leave with practical tools and ideas to make math fun and meaningful at home.


Wear your favorite football gear and join us for a night of learning, sharing, and growing together! We look forward to seeing you there!


Warm Regards,


Christine Firth, Principal
