The Value of PTA Membership
PTA connects families and schools.Three decades of research proves that students achieve higher grades, have better attendance and more consistently complete homework when parents are involved.
By joining the PTA, you show your children that school matters, and that you are invested in their success.
PTA helps ensure that parents have a seat at the table when making important decisions which effects the school. PTA works together to improve the education, health and safety of all our children as well supporting many other programs at school.
Join the Cherry Chase PTA and show your child that we are ALL a part of this wonderful school!

Garden Work Morning on August 28th, 9:30am-11:30am
Come help get the Cherry Chase gardens in order! The garden team could use some help with some light weeding, watering, and planting on Saturday morning. Tour the school gardens and see what the PTA garden team does at Cherry Chase.
Meet at the barrels between rooms 23 and 30 at 9:30am. If you arrive later, we will be in a garden nearby! Wear a mask, we’ll provide tools and gloves, or bring your own. Note, no bathroom facilities available.
Even if you can’t make it to the garden on Saturday, consider joining our mailing list for garden news, events, and volunteer opportunities – email garden@cherrychasepta.
