Read-a-thon

The Student Council would like to thank all the students and their families that raised money for this year’s Read-a-thon. It was a huge success. We earned $1813.71. The money we raised will be sent to the Red Cross to aid in Haiti.

Dear Parents/Guardians,

          This is a welcome week!  It is almost a heat wave for January. It’s great when the weather warms, because the children need to be outside for fresh air and exercise.  It makes for a very long day when they are basically in their seats most of the time.

          Below are a few dates coming up;
                  Hearing testing (Grades k,1,2,4) Jan. 25-28
                  NO SCHOOL FRIDAY JAN. 29
                  Monday, Feb. 15 and 16 are the midwinter break days
                  School resumes on Feb. 17
                  *Watch for PTO flier on Little Caesar’s Fundraiser

           This week the Student Council will be sending home a flier regarding a “Read In” to raise money for the people of Haiti.

          We continue to have parking problems and problems dropping off students. Please be respectful of parents, students and neighbors, remember, you are setting an example for your child/ren.

          We had a wonderful assembly last week.  This was the second assembly by a company called “Brainstormers”.  The first assembly was an informative presentation on writing…then five stories were submitted from the entire school and they returned to perform those stories on Friday.  The writers chosen were Nagham Edriss, Israa Darwich, Muntadhar Al-Hussain, Hassan Almuradi and Brooklyn Riley.

          Valentine parties will be coming up soon. Your child’s teacher will let you know when they will celebrate.  Please remember we do have a wellness policy within the district and it states that “treats” need to be healthy.  I know that is difficult during parties, but our goal is to have healthy children.

          There seems to be some confusion as to how you know if school has been cancelled. There are two ways to get that information, listen to WJR on the radio or listen to the local television channel. It will indicate if Crestwood School District is not in session. Please remember we are not the same as Dearborn Heights Schools or Dearborn.

          I want to thank all of you who have made getting your child to school on time a priority. You are giving them the gift of learning and responsibility.
