Crockett Roos News for Parents

Please join us tomorrow, September 19th, to learn about volunteer opportunities for the 2017-18 school year. There will be a free breakfast to enjoy!

We will also share information about Crockett and Title 1.

From September 18th through September 29th, we will have having a coin drive to benefit the Performing Arts Association of Weatherford. This association provides our 1st through 5th grade students with experiences throughout the year in fine arts. One example of what they provide, is they send our 4th grade students to Bass Hall. Please send any spare change you have to school with your child to donate. The class with the most money raised will receive a special award.

Each week we will be spotlighting one of our fabulous Crockett Teachers!
