Crissey Elementary Principal Back-to-School Letter

Dear Crissey Family and Friends,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the teachers, staff, students, parents, and the entire Crissey Community for a wonderful school year! We welcomed new teachers, students, and families into our team, and "Team Crissey" embraced these changes as we transitioned from a pre-K to 3rd grade school.

The Crissey staff would like to extend a special thank you to the Crissey Parent Club and Springfield Schools Foundation. The Crissey Parent Club is responsible for our fundraisers and many of our fun after-school activities at Crissey. The Crissey Parent Club and Springfield Schools Foundation also provide educational equipment and funds for educational activities for many of our teachers.

I hope this message finds everyone excited for the new school year after enjoying a refreshing summer break!

As we prepare for the new year, I am reaching out to ask for your help. We try to keep extra school supplies available for when they are needed, and our current supply is running low. If you are out shopping and would like to help us, we will have donation boxes at Jump Start for any extra school supplies you are willing to donate. Below is a list of supplies that teachers request most often. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

Supply Box:

• Pencils
• Crayons
• Washable markers
• Colored pencils
• Glue sticks
• Dry erase markers
• Poly folders (green, yellow, red, and blue)
• Scissors
• Headphones

Some of the things we do at Crissey to help new students get acquainted and gear up for the

school year is the posting of the class lists. Many students wonder all summer who they will have

as a teacher and which friends will be in their classrooms. On Friday, August 9 th , class lists were

posted and students waited in eager anticipation. Sadie P. was the first student to see the class

lists. She was happy to finally know, school was getting ready to start.
