Crete Elementary students are getting into a striking unit in PE. They started off with striking balloons using paddles. Most of the balloons stayed in the air!

The students at Crete Elementary had a December fitness challenge to help students stay active over winter break. The students who turned their calendar in with each exercise completed earned a Doane Track and Field jersey that was signed by many of the Doane athletes!

Both the fiction and nonfiction selections built students’ understanding of the responsibilities, lifestyle, and customs associated with royalty throughout history and present day. Kindergarten classes had a royal tea party and ball to celebrate their learning about kings and queens and royal families.

What a way to wrap up the first semester! We had the absolute best time celebrating with a school-wide PJ Day—everyone looked cozy and ready for a nap! 🥱✨

But the highlight of the day? We had a surprise visit from The Grinch himself! Luckily, our holiday spirit was so high that even his heart grew three sizes today. ❤️

Wishing all of our students, staff, and families a restful and wonderful holiday season. Enjoy the break, stay warm, and we’ll see you back on January 5th! 🗓️

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! 🍎📚
