Don’t underestimate the importance of having fun participating in school activities. Some of the best times and memories students have are the experiences of belonging to a club or participating in an after school activity. Clubs and activities are important to join just for the enjoyment that they will bring to most students, but they also allow the students to more easily make friends because the groups are small and they get to be themselves!

Clubs and activities provide students with many positive experiences that help them to become well-rounded individuals who are ready for college or the workplace. It helps students to become active in their school and to feel a connection the school and to others. It provides a sense of pride and school spirit and it is a positive influence on our youth today.

Book Fair - The book fair at Crestwood is a wonderful way to engage students in recreational reading, which research has shown can improve reading scores.  More importantly, the fair is all about the joy of discovery and the power of choice for students.  Fairs are also meant to inspire love of reading among children as they learn the difference between borrowing a book from the library and owning a special book from the fair.  Profits go directly to the library program and enable the librarian to purchase new materials, keeping the collection up to date and relevant for all students. For more information, please reach out to Ms. Mears, Crestwood Librarian. 

5th Grade Clubs - Here at Crestwood we strive to create a community where each student not only feels like they belong, but also feel they have something to contribute to our school. Our 5th graders have the opportunity each year to take on a job. They get to choose between Safety Patrol, Kindness Club, Ambassador, Birthday Squad, Series Helpers, Crest Fest Helpers and Garden Club. Each of these jobs help our school in different ways from welcoming our new students with a tour by our Ambassadors to receiving your birthday gift from our Birthday Squad. Our Crest Fest helpers help lead our school assembly each month while the Kindness club does all things kindness from special projects to helping with needs around the school. Our safety patrol ensures students are following expectations on the bus loop and our Series help are busy little bees in the morning helping with all things Series Reading. We love to see our 5th graders embrace their roles and take on various responsibilities throughout the school.  For more information please contact Ms. Jordan Edens, School Counselor.
