Crete Elementary School

We can hardly believe it, but tomorrow, Friday, December 19, 2025, marks the official end of the 1st semester! 🎒✨

To celebrate all the hard work our students have put in, tomorrow will be PJ Day! 💤 Students are invited to come to school in their favorite (school-appropriate) pajamas to relax and enjoy the final day of the year. Please wear appropriate shoes for recess and keep all blankets and stuffed animals at home for the day. 🧸🛌

We are incredibly proud of the amazing growth every single student has made this semester. From mastering new skills to building friendships, it has been a joy to watch them shine! 🌟📈

Let’s finish the year strong and cozy! See you tomorrow! 🍎📚

We've had a great first month of PreSchool!

Our preschoolers are doing a fantastic job learning all our school routines!

We're also excited to announce that we're using a new curriculum this year called FrogStreet! Our teachers are doing a great job implementing it, with help from Fernando and Fanny the frogs. 🐸

Plus, we're thrilled to have our Forest Friday trips to Doane back! We are so thankful for this collaboration and for the chance to connect with nature every week. 🌳

This is a quick message to remind everyone of our policy for our Crete Elementary students at sporting events.
