Store
Select which items you are interested in purchasing:
Pretzels – We are excited to be able to bring back mini whole wheat soft pretzels this year! In order to provide the students with their favorite snack safely, we have arranged for the pretzels to be individually wrapped from the vendor. This does have an increased cost, so this year the price is $1 per mini pretzel. The cost for one mini pretzel per child for the year is $18. Pretzel Days will be every other Wednesday beginning 9/29/21. For ingredient information click here. The deadline for placing an order for the year is 9/22/21. You can order more than one mini pretzel per child. If you have more than one child you will enter the TOTAL number of pretzels for your family. Pretzels cannot be purchased at a later date – these are pre-order only for the entire year.
Cheetah Paw Car Magnet – show your school pride!
Cheetahs Care donation – please donate to this special fund created for students in need and their families.
