🧡🖤There has been an unexpected passing of one of our 7th grade Cherry students, Karmella McCollor.

The family transferred to Cherry this year. In their short time at the Cherry School, the family has become active in sports and other activities. Karmella was currently on the Jr High girls basketball team. Our community is pulling together to do what we can and every little bit helps.

So again we ask…please share and donate if you can!
