Dear CRUNFamily,
It is crazy to think we are entering our last week of the school year. Spring fever is definitely in the picture as the weather is finally turning nice and our kids are ready for summer. This last week will be filled with emotion, happy and sad; confusion and excitement, but one thing is for sure, it will be filled with love. When we talk about our mission being to reach kids through heart and mind, it is not just a mantra. It is truly how we operate. We start with the heart knowing that when the love and support are there, learning happens.Our classroom families are preparing to say, "See you later." This is the hard part as kids are excited about summer, but the uncertainty of what is to come, looms and can feel overwhelming. We will fill these last few days with opportunities to say goodbye in healthy ways, leave a legacy and have something to take with them that allows for a memory of their current grade level family. We are excited about all of the fun that the last week of school brings and will dry tears and give lots of hugs as we move on to the next chapter in our lives. We are so grateful for our CRUNFamily and all the people that make what we have so special. Thank you for helping us have a great last week of school this 23-24 school year.

A Note From Office Team
School Supplies Pre-packaged by School Tools!
We have partnered again with School Tools. Parents can order directly from School Tools by filling out the form and mailing with payment directly to them. This link has a School Tools form for each grade for next school year. If you wish to purchase your own supplies instead, please use the generic supply list which does specify brands and colors that teachers request. Thank you! Your child will bring home a bright paper with the order form on one side and the supply list on the other. You can also find the forms and lists here and print only what you need HERE!
Yearbooks
Yearbooks are coming home TODAY! If you ordered and your child did not receive their yearbook, you likely chose for it to be shipped to your home. If you forgot to purchase, there is a very small amount of extras ordered. You can purchase for $25 each at the office with cash (exact change only, we do not have change) or check made to CRUN PTA.
