Microgreens at Crestwood
Microgreens at Crestwood
On January 25, 2022 Ms. Amy, our AmeriCorps Farm to School Specialist began leading an indoor microgreen project at Crestwood. Currently the scholars in 4K-Grade 1 are growing microgreens in their classrooms.
Using supplies donated from home (thanks for all those clamshells) or purchased with support from CAPT, our scholars are busy caring for their new plants! They are looking forward to harvesting and tasting their microgreens.
Our scholars have been super motivated to grow their own greens! If you are interested in growing microgreens at home, please visit Let’s Grow Microgreens for an instructional guide from Oregon State University.
For more information, please check out the attached PDF ==>

COVID Information
COVID Information
If your child is symptomatic and you have insurance please call your kids doctor. They can usually get tested same day, and get results in 24 hours or less. This is the BEST way to go if they have symptoms.
MMSD test clinics
MMSD test clinics
If they don’t have symptoms or you don’t have insurance, MMSD has a lot of testing sites. Memorial High School is often the busiest, but there are many clinics on the west side. Often results from any site using COVID Connect (English , Español, Hmong) to register take longer.
Here is a spreadsheet that’s updated regularly by MMSD showing all testing locations. Crestwood now has a testing site! COVID Clinic Test Sites

Free in-home tests
Free in-home tests
Through the US Postal Service, you can order four (4) free rapid COVID tests shipped to your home (maximum 4 per household). MMSD guidance is fluid as is the science on COVID, but having rapid tests on hand may allow your child to get back in school sooner if they should test positive. To order your free testing kits, go to https://special.usps.com/testkits.
Through the state of Wisconsin, you can get an at-home saliva collection kit, which is a PCR test. You will need to collect your sample live on Zoom, so a phone or computer is required. To order your free PCR test, go to https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/covid-19/collection.htm.
