Parents will receive an email link approximately 1-2weeks after picture day with the links to view and order online.

**Fifth grade students will be having their class picture taken as a commemoration of Class of 2025! It will also be available to order.

Please know it is optional to participate in this fundraiser. Crestview will receive a percentage of every order as a donation. Only students wishing to participate will be photographed.

This Thursday the actual Bunny Hop Day - April 17! We will need parent volunteers as well as donations of water and oranges. Please sign up!

Remind your family members, friends and perhaps close neighbors of their support on the track! Donations can be made as a flat amount or as a "per lap" sponsorship. Students will have time after the Bunny Hop to collect their donations &/or "per lap" sponsorship money. Be sure to review the fundraising packet that went home with the students. The packet will have all the important information.

It's going to be an exciting day for everyone at Crestview at our biggest and most fun fundraiser of the year!

Thank you to everyone who supported Crestview's PTA by dining out at Cronies last week! We hope you all enjoyed seeing all the other Crestview families as well as the yummy food Cronies is known for. Your support is very much appreciated as it all goes back to our students for the fun learning opportunities, field trip busses and all the fun events at school!

Hey Cougar Families!

On Saturday, our student athletes participated in the Simi Valley Junior Olympics for the first time since 2019! I'm so incredibly proud of their hard work and dedication. A big shout out to our Junior Olympics Chairperson, Shawn Trowbridge.... this event wouldn't have happened without him stepping up and leading our athletes!

Please mark your calendars for our 60th Birthday Celebration on Friday, April 25! We will be moving and grooving to the grooviest tunes, making 60's themed crafts, enjoying 60's themed activities and more! It's going to be so much fun!

We need a few parent volunteers for our Birthday Bash! Please sign up for a quick and easy 30 minute slot to help us run our craft and activity tables. SIGN UP HERE!

We're also gearing up for Staff Appreciation Week, May 5-9! If you have any suggestions on how to make this week even more magical for our dedicated staff, we'd love to hear from you!
