Reflections from Cherry Street:

Welcome to the Cherry Street Blog!

Greetings Parents, Students, and Staff,

We are going to try something new at Cherry Street Intermediate. Newsletters serve as a means to inform the community of the happenings of our school. Eventually, to save paper, we began to transition the use of paper newsletters to digital PDFs, while still printing a few of these newsletters for easy access in the office. This served us well for a short while. The digital documents would be posted on our district site for stakeholders to view. However, while doing this we have discovered a few things:
  1. Creating a building newsletter has become increasingly difficult to do during the day. (Not to mention that the program we are using is kind of a pain.)
  2. We begin to work on the newsletter, school life would inevitably interrupt our progress. 
  3. We are doing our community a disservice by not keeping them informed. 
So, we are going to take a new approach to our school newsletter. Currently, Cherry Street has a Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/cherrystreetintermediate), and we will continue to use this for announcements and notifications for the students and community. We have recently created a Twitter account where you can follow us at @CS_Intermediate. Within the Twitter account, we are using #theCSIword as a means to house important announcements. Finally, we will be using this blog, The Cherry Street Connection, as a replacement for the newsletter. "Whew"

If you follow all three media, you will probably notice some cross over of announcements. This three-pronged approach is to better meet the needs of our community. Those who enjoy using social media sites have the Facebook and Twitter options; while those who prefer not to use these sites can use this blog to catch up on the happenings at Cherry Street. We hope everyone can take advantage of this new approach. If you have any questions feel free to call or stop by the office. Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Ryan Moore
Principal, Cherry Street Intermediate

Pirates of Penzance Viewing On Friday, April 8, 2016, 4th and 5th grade students will be walking to the High School to see a special viewing of the high school's rendition of, The Pirates of Penzance . We will be leaving the school at 12:50 and returning in time for dismissal. Please make sure your student has appropriate attire (coat, hat, mittens) for the walk. If, by chance, we have anyone with crutches, we will make sure they don't have to suffer the walk over.  :-)  Thanks!
