Dear Crestwood School District Families, We would like to inform you about an important update to our April 2024 calendar: Monday, April 8th: School will be open. All students are expected to attend. However, there will be no school for students on the following days: Tuesday, April 9th Wednesday, April 10th Thursday, April 11th Friday, April 12th This adjustment is due to the observance of Eid Al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan. In our calendar planning, we predicted the holiday, but we need to extend the break by one day to accommodate the actual observance. As a result, we will now have a four-day break from April 9th to 12th. Please mark your calendars accordingly and plan for your child's attendance on Monday, April 8th. Full attendance is crucial on this day to maintain our required number of school days. We apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause and appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Crestwood School District Administrator

Crestwood District's 2nd Annual Scripps National Spelling Bee: Next Up, WXYZ Regional Competition The Crestwood School District recently celebrated its 2nd Annual Scripps National Spelling Bee, an event that not only showcased the district's commitment to literacy but also highlighted the competitive spirit and academic excellence of its students. Sponsored by The Amity Foundation, the spelling bee took place at the Riverside Middle School Auditorium on January 10th and 11th, with enthusiastic participation from students across the district's three elementary schools—Hillcrest, Highview, and Kinloch—and Riverside Middle School. The competition kicked off with students competing against their classmates, making this year's spelling bee a unique and exciting event.

Yousef Fawaz, a 6th grader from Riverside Middle School, emerged as the champion and will represent the district at the regional competition on March 13th, 2024. The event was graced by the presence of special guest judges, including Dr. Youssef Mosallam, Trustee Hassan Beydoun, Trustee Selwa Fawaz, Trustee Billy Amen, Dr. Ali Nassrallah the Family Doc, and Wayne County Commissioner David Knezek. Their participation added a touch of prestige to the event and underscored the community's support for academic endeavors. Additional thanks go to the dedicated judges who contributed their time and expertise: Associate Superintendent Andria O'Hara, District Coordinators Sarah Tumminello and Zainab Jawad, and PTA President Najah Janoun. Their involvement was instrumental in the success of the event. The spelling bee was a celebration of academic excellence, collaboration, and community spirit. Prizes for the winners included an iPad for the first-place winner, a $50 gift card to Brome for the second-place winner, and a $25 gift card to Custard Hut for the third-place winner. The Crestwood School District extends its heartfelt gratitude to all the teachers, administrators, parents, and especially the students, whose hard work and enthusiasm made this event a shining example of the district's commitment to fostering a positive climate and culture.
