Crestwood School Board Study Session: An Evening of Insight and Innovation October 2, 2023 The Crestwood School District’s Study Session tonight was an illuminating testament to our commitment to academic excellence. Every school in our district presented their achievements and future plans, painting a picture of determination, innovation, and success. Dr. Mosallam, our district superintendent, eloquently presented our data review, emphasizing the myriad of ways we have cultivated opportunities for our staff and students. He remarked, “Data isn’t just numbers; it’s the reflection of our collective dedication, of every opportunity we’ve nurtured, and of the innovative paths we’ve paved for our community.” The highlight of the evening was undeniably the presentations by school teams. Guided by their dedicated coaches, they delved deep into their data, showcasing the significant strides made and outlining the potential of the coaching model in fostering an even more engaged and dynamic educational atmosphere. As Dr. Mosallam so aptly put it, “When we invest in our educators, we’re investing in a brighter future for our students. Today’s insights lay the foundation for tomorrow’s achievements.” Tonight was a shining example of why Crestwood School District is not only moving in the right direction but is setting the pace for others to follow. We remain steadfast in our mission to deliver the best educational opportunities, boldly and innovatively.

Dr. Mosallam, Crestwood Superintendent, spoke about how this complex exemplifies what we can achieve when we unite as one to make this the very best district for everyone. It was incredible to see the community come together to celebrate this milestone for Crestwood athletics and our district as a whole. Vice President Hassan Beydoun shared how this evening was a celebration for all who believe in the great future ahead for our district. He went on to thank his fellow trustees for their support in making this athletic complex a reality. What an amazing day and the start of an exciting new chapter for our district!

Recap: Crestwood Community Education Foundation Inaugural Gala Last evening marked a momentous occasion as the Crestwood community gathered for the inaugural Crestwood Community Education Foundation Gala. A night infused with the spirit of unity, celebration, and achievement. From the melodic tunes of the Crestwood Jazz Band that set the night in motion, to the awe-inspiring displays from our Crestwood Robotics Club, NHS, and Science Club, the evening was a testament to our district’s vibrant talent.

Dr. Mosallam captured the evening’s essence with his reflective words, saying, “Every brick in our foundation is a testament to collective ambition. When the Crestwood community unites, we don’t just make progress; we redefine possibilities.” We were all left spellbound by the Drama Club’s stirring performance of their summer musical, Matilda. Tarik Turfee, a proud Crestwood alumnus, successful attorney, and the Crestwood High School Varsity Basketball Coach, graced the evening as our emcee. But it was Hamid Souidean, another Crestwood alumnus turned successful attorney, who truly stole the show with his moving keynote speech. Drawing from his own journey through the district, he recounted how Crestwood shaped him into the person he is today. The evening would not have been complete without the mesmerizing captures by Sahar Mashhour of SM Photography. Their snaps are sure to immortalize this unforgettable night. Walaa Hamad, the President of the Crestwood Community Education Foundation, delivered a poignant speech, highlighting the essence and mission of the foundation. A heartfelt call for unity and the importance of investing in our future – our students. To the entire Crestwood community – educators, students, alumni, and supporters – last evening was a beautiful testament to our shared journey and commitment. As we step forward, let’s continue to champion and uplift our district’s potential. Because, as Walaa Hamad rightfully noted, “we are not just building a foundation; we are crafting a legacy.”
