Dear Crippen Families,

As we enter the joyous month of December, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for each of you. Your support and partnership mean the world to us, and we are excited to share this festive season with our students. December will be filled with fun, learning, and engaging activities, including a Christmas Parade, a cozy PJ Day dedicated to reading, our annual classroom Christmas parties, and more! Additionally, the PTO is hosting a Holiday Market where families can take pictures with Santa. While this time of year is full of excitement, we kindly ask for your help in reminding students to show kindness, respect, and empathy toward one another and their teachers, as the holiday season can also bring its challenges. Together, we can make this a magical and meaningful time for everyone.

Warm regards,
Teresa Brent
