Crystal Hill hosted its spelling bee last week. We're so proud of everyone who competed. Congrats to our winner Thea Olmstead! By the way, we think every spelling bee should be held on Pajama Day! Great work scholars.



We have a fun learning activity for students to complete over the break (see photo)! If they complete a bingo, they earn 25 PBIS points. If they cover the board, they will earn 50 PBIS points. You can print off the paper if you want, or just send a note to the teacher letting us know which activities your scholar completed! Thank you and Happy Holidays!


Crystal Hill's staff participated in A December to Remember activities where teachers had festive dress up days. Each day that they participated, they could enter their name into a drawing for a prize. Congratulations to Marnaya Cook, Special Education Teacher, on winning $50 cash.
Merry Christmas!
