● VOLUNTEERS--Mr. Gere hopes to be able to allow volunteers back for school events beginning
in October - Let’s all make sure we are ready to go when COVID protocols allow!

already registered, make sure your proof of COVID vaccine or approved

●FUNDRAISER -  In just a few weeks, we’ll kick off our Cedar River Dance-A-Thon on 10/5! Our
goal is to raise $15,000 for student enrichment and to strengthen our school
community.
We completely understand if your family is not in a position to financially support
the school right now. You can still be involved by simply SHARING about our
fundraiser with friends and extended family online at mybooster.com. Sharing IS
supporting!
All students will participate in the Cedar River Dance-A-Thon, regardless of
financial participation. We will also be following our school safety guidelines to
ensure a safe and fun experience for everyone.
We appreciate your support more than you know. More details to come as we get
closer to kickoff!
