Back-to-School Playdate
The school year starts in just one week! Join us for our last popsicle playdate!
All Crestwood families are invited to gather at the school playground on Wednesday August 28 from 6-7 pm. If there is rain, we will reschedule to Thursday August 29 at the same time.
Thank You Work Day Volunteers!
Thank you Crestwood families for your hard work on Saturday at the Outdoor Education work day! The Crestwood gardens and woods can get overgrown during the summer months but your efforts helped clear trails, spread mulch, and get the outdoor areas of our school ready for student learning! Thank you again!
Back-to-School Breakfast For Teachers
Crestwood staff returns to school on Monday August 26. CAPT is using some of the funds raised last year to provide breakfast to Crestwood teachers and staff on Tuesday August 27.
If your family would like to create any welcome back signs or cards for the start of the school year, please email president@crestwoodcapt.us and we can display them in the school.
Girls on the Run (GOTR) Sign Up
The fall 2024 season of Girls on the Run is open for registration. The season starts the week of September 9 and ends with the GOTR 5K on Saturday November 9 in Waunakee, WI. The team meets twice per week on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30-5 pm.
GOTR is open to students in grades 3-5 and welcomes any youth who identify as "girl", non-binary, gender-fluid, or gender expansive. Read more about the program here.
The lottery for the GOTR program at Crestwood is currently full and new registrations are being added to a waitlist. However, if more coaches are added, more girls may be able to participate. Please contact Connie Allen or Amber Waldo if you are interested in coaching!
