Sixth through eighth graders can participate in intramural athletics. Cherry Street School is a participant in the 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant through the Cumberland County Pathways. This program is open to all students in grades 5 through 8. Cherry Street School will enter its third year with “The Leader in Me: 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” program. This program focuses on leadership development into daily curriculum, activities, and culture. Students will learn to set meaningful goals, take responsibility for their learning, work well with others, and use their talents to better the school community.

Our students have access to some of the best technology available with classroom computer learning centers, Smart Boards, and a state-of-the-art computer lab. The guidance program provides individual, small group and classroom lessons and counseling to help students grow emotionally and socially. Students are recognized for their achievements through incentive programs such as Positive Behavior Support in Schools (PBSIS), Honor Roll and Principal’s List, Attendance and Citizenship Awards, Students of the Month, Parade of Champions, Academic Excellence Banquet, and the National Junior Honor Society. Students in grades K-8 participate in an annual field day, where activities such as face painting and organized competitions are enjoyed.
