5th Annual Cherokee Blood Drive

Hello families - 

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. 
I don't know about you, but I am ready for some temperatures above freezing!

This Monday, Jan. 27th from 2 - 6 p.m. Cherokee NJHS will be hosting our 5th Annual Blood Drive in conjunction with the Community Blood Center of the Ozarks.

We are in need of all blood types and anyone age 16 and older is eligible to donate. All it takes is 1 hour of your time and 1 pint of your blood to help save 3 lives.

This is near and dear to me as 5 years ago this Feb. 14th my son, Seely, benefited from a blood donor. The donation helped save his life and today he is a healthy almost 5 year old!

Thank you for consideration and donation!

Transitional Transfers

Cherokee Families,

Current fifth (5th) families - if you desire for your child to attend a middle school OTHER than the school that serves your address, a transfer request from must be completed. (Cherokee does currently have openings for ALL grade levels for the 2014 - 2015 school year.) Transfers are approved based on building capacity and the order in which the transfers are received. The transfer forms may be picked up in the principal's office. The transfer form needs to be completed and sent to the principal of the school the child is requesting to attend. It is the responsibility of the parent/legal guardian to send the transfer form to the requested school.
The deadline to submit the transfer request is 3 p.m. Friday, December 6, 2013.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact me at 523-7210, wtpowers@spsmail.org, or @CherokeeSPS

Have a great day,

Bill Powers
Cherokee Principal
