Our membership drive is taking place now through December 20th. The grade level with the greatest percentage of new memberships before then will get a FREE DRESS bracelet for every student in that grade. The second place grade level will get an extra recess, chaperoned by the PTA. Now is the moment to sign up for, or renew, your PTA membership for the 2024/2025 academic school year! 

Simply signing up as a member does not obligate you to volunteer or attend meetings, but it DOES help support the opportunities, programs, and events the PTA hosts throughout the year like the Scholastic Book Fair and Popcorn Fridays. It allows us to support staff through the educator discretionary fund and staff grants. And it helps us build community with special events such as the Harvest Festival and Family Skate Nights.

So what are you waiting for?

Hello, Crescent Heights Community!

It is that time of year again where we can come together as a school and bless other families in our husky community. Our annual holiday giving tree is live and the first round of gifts are ready to be shopped for! The tree is virtual again this year, here is the link: www.bit.ly/chetree2024

All items are on an Amazon Wishlist, and will go directly to CHE Students and their families. Gifts are around the $30 and under mark, and we will be monitoring the list daily to replace items that may be out of stock, or jumped up in price.

Our ability to come together as a husky community and spread some joy, in a season where families need it more than ever, is the greatest gift. We can guarantee your thoughtfulness and generosity will bring many smiles to Husky faces. This list is confidential, so feel free to share the list with friends, co-workers or family who may want to give back this season. Just ensure that they select CHE as their shipping option in the system.To ensure enough time for organization and deliveries, we are closing the Amazon Wishlist on Friday, December 13th at 4:00pm.

If you’d rather donate cash/venmo, that can be arranged as well and would be used to purchase any leftover gifts, or wrapping paper. Please connect with our school counselor if you have any questions, or if your family could benefit from this resource.

Does your student have a November or December birthday? Or do you just want to do something good for the school? Think about donating a book to our school library in your student's honor! Your student will be recognized by a PTA member who will read the book to their class, your student's name will be stamped inside the front of the book, a photo of your student will be placed on our bulletin board in the upper hallway and they will take a bookmark home!  Visit chepta.org/books_for_birthdays to purchase one of the books off of our approved wish lists. A book is a wonderful gift to give. 

Caitlin Nieburg is always happy to answer questions! Just email booksforbirthdays@chepta.org for more information or with questions.
