Principal Bull duct taped to the wall.

We kicked off the morning with students duct taping Mrs. Bull to the wall to celebrate reaching our top goal for the Cherrydale Fundraiser, way to go, Miners! PTO also treated students to Popcorn Friday and the staff with delicious coffee drinks. A huge thank you to all our amazing BDE families for making these fun celebrations possible for our students!
