2. Community Involvement: We have a week long series of activities that focus on making good choice.

3. Empowerment: Red Ribbon Week encourages youth to take a stand against drugs, empowering them to make positive decisions.

Overall, it’s a vital initiative for fostering a culture of health and safety among our Crescent Cougars. Join us on October 28-November 1st as we promote Red Ribbon Week.

Writing Focus at Crescent

This year one of our instructional goals is to ensure that our students can successfully produce writing across all grade levels. Our staff has established high academic expectations in writing to ensure we maintain and grow our excellent academic standing in English Language Arts. To better understand the foundational expectations of writing, we will be sharing with you the academic standards for three grades each week in order to highlight the progression of writing in each grade. Please note, these are foundational expectations and as a staff and school our goals are to meet and exceed the standards:

Pokemon cards are no longer allowed on school grounds including near the flagpole and island after school. Students may keep them in their backpack but cannot take them out to play with. They may do so in the presence of parents or at the park with parent permission. We have encountered quite a few instances of bartering, stealing of cards, and missing of expensive cards.

Congratulations to our running club who participated in the Mt. Sac Invitational.
