April is shaping up to be a busy and exciting month here at Crippen Elementary! From our engaging Science Discovery Nights and fun family events to important STAAR testing days and special celebrations like Military Child Day and Día del Niño, there’s something happening nearly every week. We’re especially looking forward to seeing our Crippen Choir perform at the Astros game and welcoming our newest little Rockets during Pre-K and Kinder Registration.
As always, we are so thankful for the continued support and involvement of our Crippen families. Whether you're helping your child prepare for testing, attending a school event, or simply cheering us on from home, your partnership means the world to us. We appreciate your encouragement, your time, and the love you show our school community. Let’s make April a month to remember—thank you for being an essential part of what makes Crippen Elementary such a special place to learn and grow! 🚀
With appreciation,
🚀 Ms. Brent & the Crippen Elementary Team🚀
