Students in Cherokee Charter Academy’s Beta Club did their winter fund raiser for Green Pets America Humane Society. The club presented a check of $164 to Green Pets Executive Director Steve Monahan which will help with operational costs of the no kill shelter and animal rescue/adoption organization.
School Principal Vanessa Suarez said “Pet Project is one of many community outreach projects our students have orchestrated this year,” adding “these projects are a part of our Strive 65 program, a school wide effort which teaches character education and citizenship.”
Cherokee Charter’s Beta Club is a service organization for students with grade averages of A and B.
CCA is the county’s first public charter school with an enrollment of 825 students in grades K-7. Open enrollment is underway as the school prepares to add Grade 8 for the 2012-2013 academic year.

This school worked so hard to become an entity and it shows in the character of the students. Even those who had "problems" in the CCSD units have come into their own and have become wonderful students...all due to the caring nature of the staff and parents. I'm so glad that they choose such projects to bring the world to the students.
