Mission of Cherry Valley SchoolThe purpose of education is to help students develop the best that is in them. Part of that is an appreciation of who they are as well as a respect for differences and diversity. I hope that students will leave the process of education more curious than when they entered it. This curiosity about life would give students a sense of competence and confidence that comes from years of learning creative problem-solving and thinking skills. This confidence would impel students to satisfy their curiosity to be willing to be responsible for others within the society to make it better for all.

Where are the Cherries?
Cherry Valley is an amazing school with many unique attributes. We have an enriching gardening program with a farm stand, we are environmentally friendly and have implemented our Cool the Earth program, we support local farms for our lunch program and our parents are very involved in the well being of their children and the school they go to.
Our cherries are definitely a symbol of our school, but the sunflower struck me. It reminds me of the bright smiling faces on our kids, of our garden, of the growth , the earth we all respect and we all are working to conserve and most importantly the bright future our kids have to look forward to. With the butterfly in the corner symbolizing their beautiful transformation as the children learn and grow. I feel this design symbolized all aspects of our wonderful school and how beautiful it is!
