Our Kindergarten superstars at Crooked River Elementary had an unforgettable week learning all about the amazing people who keep our community safe and strong!
Highlights from our week:
🔥 Field Trip to the Fire Station: Our students stepped into the shoes of real firefighter heroes, explored the fire trucks, and learned essential fire safety rules.
👮♂️ Special Visitors at CRES: Local police officers stopped by our school to teach us about safety, answer our big questions, and give us a close-up look at their gear and patrol cars!
A huge THANK YOU to our local fire department and police officers for taking the time to inspire our youngest learners. We are so proud of our kindergarteners for being such great listeners and curious learners! 🌟

Our Kindergarteners at Crooked River Elementary had a BLAST celebrating their 50th Day of School today! We traveled back to the 1950s with a day full of fun, hands-on learning rotations.
Here’s a peek at what our little learners got up to:
🕺 Twisting and grooving at our Sock Hop dance party
📺 Watching a classic 1950s Mickey Mouse movie
🎨 Crafting root beer floats and vinyl records
🔢 Counting all the way to 50 with our 50-sticker square challenge
🥤 Ending the day with a delicious treat—real root beer floats!
We are so proud of how much our students have grown in 50 days. Here’s to many more days of learning, growing, and having fun together! 💙🐾

As we observe National School Bus Safety Week, we want to remind everyone in our community to take a few extra moments to help protect our students as they travel to and from school each day.
The morning and afternoon commutes are some of the busiest times on our roads, and a little extra patience and attention go a long way!
🚗 For Drivers:
Stop for school buses when the stop arm is extended and red lights flash.
Obey all posted school zone speed limits.
Never pass a stopped school bus from either direction when required by law.
Stay alert for students near roadways, bus stops, and crosswalks.
🎒 For Parents & Students:
Arrive at the bus stop a few minutes early and wait a safe distance from the road.
Cross only when instructed by the driver, and always look left, right, and left again.
Use designated crosswalks and never cross behind a school bus.
Put phones and headphones away while walking to stay aware of surroundings.
Thank you for doing your part to ensure every student arrives safely and returns home with a smile!

It’s time to bring big, creative words to life! Mark your calendars for Thursday, October 22nd, and start brainstorming your costume. We encourage all students, faculty, and staff to join in on the fun!
🌟 How to Participate:
Choose Your Word: Pick an interesting, unusual, or exciting vocabulary word that will stretch everyone's vocabulary!
Plan Your Costume: Create a outfit that illustrates your word. Simple, homemade costumes made from recycled household items are fantastic! 🎨✂️
Display Your Word: Make a large, easy-to-read sign or card with your chosen word AND its definition clearly visible. You can wear it as a headband or hat, carry it, or incorporate it directly into your costume so everyone can read it as you march.
💡 Pro-Tip for Costume Brainstorming:
Feeling stuck? We recently send home a letter with resource for ideas. Try starting with a favorite costume or storybook character first, then match a clever vocabulary word to it! You can also check Pinterest or search "Vocabulary Parade Ideas" online for tons of visual inspiration. 🔍✨
👨👩👧👦 Parents & Families: You are warmly invited to attend and cheer on our parade walk! We can't wait to see all of the creative costumes on display!
