A cheerful summer-themed graphic from Crestwood School District features a bright beach scene with a gradient sky that fades from turquoise blue at the top to a light sandy tone near the horizon. The bottom portion of the graphic is covered with textured golden sand. Large watercolor-style palm trees frame the image, with one tall palm tree on the left and another on the right. Additional palm fronds extend inward from the upper corners. At the top center is a stylized sun with golden rays. Inside the sun is the Crestwood School District logo, which features a tree with roots and the words “Crestwood School District” surrounding it, along with the slogan “Your Future. Our Focus.” Centered in the middle of the graphic is large dark blue script text that reads: “Hello Summer.” The word “Hello” appears above the much larger word “Summer.” Below the greeting is a message in large dark blue serif text that reads: “We hope you have a safe and relaxing summer full of memories with family and friends! See you back at school on August 24th!” The overall design creates a warm, welcoming summer vacation theme through the use of palm trees, sunshine, sandy beach imagery, and a friendly message wishing students, families, and staff a safe and enjoyable summer break.

This is our final weekly update of the school year! Our last day of school is Wednesday, and it will be a half day.

Thank you for a wonderful school year!
