Thank you to all of our parents, and families for your support this year! It has been a year of many “changes” for everyone. I am so proud of our kids! I think you will be too when you see all they have learned. Don’t forget to keep your child learning over the summer! Make it fun! Join a summer reading program, investigate math and science at home and in your daily life. Chickamauga Battlefield is filled with endless adventures in our own back yard. Many apps on smartphones, tablets, and computers can help your child practice and have fun. Ask your child’s teacher for some suggestions for learning fun! We could not do what we do without you and the staff and faculty at Cherokee Ridge Elementary. We are honored to be educators and work with your family. We hope that we have had a positive effect in your child’s life and opened the door to learning. I hope to see all of you at the end of the year events. Have a safe and wonderful summer!!
