Attention Crestwood Families: Please read the attached holiday break letter from Superintendent Dr. Youssef Mosallam, reflecting on our year's journey and celebrating our significant growth. Essential insights as we head into the holidays!

In the Crestwood District, not wide or vast, The Grinch’s journey was quite a blast. On the nineteenth of December, a day to remember, The Grinch paid a visit to Kinloch, so tender. Jill Marvaso, the principal, so clever and bright, Transformed into Cindy-Lou Who, to the Grinch’s fright. With a smile so warm, and eyes sparkling with glee, She was set to change what the Grinch’s heart could be. “Welcome, Mr. Grinch,” Cindy-Lou said with cheer, “To Kinloch Elementary, we’re glad you’re here! With letters from students, and banners in view, We’ll show you the joy that can certainly ensue.” Randy Brooks was there too, a helper so grand, Assisting Cindy-Lou to take a firm stand. The Who-kids, with pens, had written with glee, Letters of warmth, for the Grinch to see. Their handmade cards, so vibrant and bright, Filled the halls with a magical light. Teachers and staff, in a line so grand, With their little Whos, hand in hand, Shared songs and stories, in the candle’s glow, Hoping their love would make the Grinch’s heart grow. Now, every Who in the district knows, Of the day the Grinch’s heart rose. Thanks to Cindy-Lou, and all, The Grinch’s heart grew three sizes that fall. As he left Kinloch, his heart full of cheer, The Grinch carried with him memories so dear. In this last stop, where the Koalas play, He’d found the true meaning of the holiday.

From 6 to 8 PM, the school echoed with cheers and support, not just for the teams playing but for a cause that reaches far beyond the borders of Dearborn. This event highlighted the unifying power of sports and community in supporting global humanitarian efforts. The Crestwood community’s involvement was particularly noteworthy. District Superintendent Dr. Mosallam, embodying both leadership and sportsmanship, served as an enthusiastic line judge. His presence was a significant morale booster for everyone involved. Adding to the spirit of the evening were Crestwood Teachers Sabah Hadous and Sharifa Bazzi, who joined in, exemplifying the commitment of educators to both their community and global causes. Alongside them, Trustee Billy Amen, Crestwood Alumni Commissioner David Knezek, and Councilman Dave Abdallah took to the court, demonstrating that their roles in the community extend well beyond their official capacities. Congratulations to all the participants and organizers for creating such an unforgettable and impactful evening. Your dedication and efforts shine a light on the power of community and education in making a difference in the world. #CharityVolleyball #CommunitySpirit #CrestwoodStrong #GlobalSupport #DearbornCommunity
