Spring is right around the corner, and with it comes a season full of learning, growth, and exciting opportunities for our students. As we move into March, we are focusing on finishing the third quarter strong and preparing for upcoming assessments. Our teachers are working hard to ensure students have the skills and knowledge they need to be successful, and we appreciate your partnership in supporting learning at home. Encouraging your child to read daily, practice math facts, and maintain a consistent routine will help them stay on track.

This month brings fun activities and events that celebrate our students’ hard work and school spirit. Be on the lookout for details about fun family nights, book fair, field trips and more!

We also appreciate your support of our school popcorn fundraiser, as the funds raised will go toward end-of-year events like our Fun Day in May, awards ceremonies, and other special activities to celebrate our students’ achievements. Every purchase makes a difference and helps us create lasting memories for our kids!

Thank you for your continued support in making our school a wonderful place to learn and grow. As always, if you have any questions or need anything, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

With appreciation,

🚀 Ms. Brent & the Crippen Elementary Team🚀
