🚨 Library Book Rescue Mission! 🚨

All student library books are due back TODAY — Friday, May 8th! 📚

If you spot any hiding under the bed, tucked between the couch cushions, hanging out in the car, or mixed in with the toy pile, please send them back to school ASAP. We still have over 500 books checked out, and our shelves are ready to welcome them home! 🏡📖

Thanks for helping us round up our missing library friends! 💙

🎉📣 Attention, CRE! One last chance to bring the energy because Student Council has cooked up a FINAL Spirit Week for next week! 📣🎉

We’ve attached the flyer with all the dates and daily themes, so grab your pj’s, flip those outfits backward, get your exercise clothes moving, dress like your favorite hero or teacher, and rep those class colors loud and proud!

Let’s send this school year out in style—with big smiles, lots of laughs, and enough school spirit to shake the hallways! 💙✨

We’re so close, we can feel it! 💪📚

Our current attendance rate is 86.4%, and our goal is 90%—we’re within reach! Every single day matters, and each student here makes a difference.

Let’s rally together and finish this year STRONG! 🎉
Show up, stay healthy, and keep pushing—WE’VE GOT THIS!

🎉🍩 Donuts with Dudes is Almost Here! 🍩🎉

We’re getting excited for one of our favorite mornings of the year—Donuts with Dudes is happening next Friday from 7:15–8:00 AM before school! 🙌

Grab a special “dude” in your life (dad, grandpa, uncle, family friend—you name it!) and join us for some sweet treats and even sweeter memories. 💙

📣 We need YOUR help to make it amazing!
We’re looking for volunteers to lend a hand that morning. Traditionally, we invite the “misses” of the family to help so our “dudes” can enjoy time with students—but truly, everyone is welcome to volunteer or attend. It’s a family affair!

👉 Ready to help? Sign up here:

Please help us spread the word—we can’t wait to see a great turnout!

✨ Let’s make it a morning full of smiles, sprinkles, and special moments! ✨

Dear CRE Families,

We are excited to share that your student will be coming home today or tomorrow with three books they personally selected from a very special, sponsored book fair hosted by the Addie & Baylor Kirchgessner Foundation. Learn more about the foundation here: https://www.addieandbaylorfoundation.com/

This generous opportunity allowed every student to choose books to keep and enjoy at home, helping to foster a love of reading and build their personal library. We hope these new stories bring joy, curiosity, and many cozy reading moments!

Thank you for your continued support in encouraging a love of reading at home.
