Crystal Springs Uplands School

Greetings from the San Mateo Pride Parade! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Pie fights, dramatic slips, and endless laughs! 🥧💥

Throwing it back a few weeks ago to our Middle School Fine Arts Friday, where our talented students absolutely crushed their Slapstick performance! From perfect comedic timing to hilarious physical comedy, they brought the house down.

A massive shoutout and thank you to our incredible MS Drama Teacher, Michelle Berti, for directing this masterpiece and teaching our students that sometimes, falling down is the best part of the show! 🎭👏

And just like that, another incredible school year is officially in the books! ☀️📚

Yesterday marked our final PAC day, and we wrapped things up in the best way possible. We kicked off the morning fueled by a Coffee Cart and breakfast (huge thank you to our amazing Admission Team! ☕️🥐), spent time reflecting on our growth in teaching and learning, and closed out with a Year-End Review from Kelly Sortino.

The absolute perfect finale? A delicious celebratory lunch out in the sunshine, complete with live music! 🎷🍤

Amid the celebration, we also took time to recognize, celebrate, and say a heartfelt farewell to the dedicated PAC members who are leaving us this year. Thank you for your incredible service, leadership, and unwavering commitment to our school community. You have left a lasting impact, and you will be deeply missed!

To our entire PAC, thank you for your endless dedication, passion, and hard work all year long. You make this community what it is. Now, it’s time to rest, recharge, and enjoy a well-deserved summer break! 🏖️✨

A look back at a magical Middle School Fine Arts Friday from a few weeks ago! 🎨✨ Our students absolutely blew us away during the Interdisciplinary Collaboration performance. It was a beautiful reminder of what happens when different artistic worlds collide.

From the powerful energy of the 7th Grade Music Ensemble's Djaa Kouroussa to the moving poetry of Emily Dickinson brought to life by our 8th Grade Drama students, every moment showcased incredible growth and teamwork. We are so proud of our young musicians, dancers, and actors for putting on such an unforgettable show!

Special thanks and congratulations to our wonderful MS Fine Arts PAC, Michelle Berti, Keith Fongheiser, Yeni Lucero Rivera, Lucca Troutman, and Mattias Lange-McPherson, for a phenomenal collaborative showcase! 🎭🎶💃

School might be out for the summer, but we couldn’t let the year slip away without sharing these incredible moments!

Looking back at our Middle School Fine Arts Friday from a few weeks ago, we are still so proud of our music ensembles. They took the stage and poured their hearts into every single piece, wrapping up the year on the highest possible note. 🎵✨

Seeing the growth, teamwork, and dedication of these young musicians was truly inspiring. A massive thank you to our incredible music PAC and coaches for their guidance, and to all the families who came out to support our students! 🎹🩵

Summer mode: 🔛! ☀️🍦 Last week’s Upper School Fun in the Sun was exactly what we all needed.

Designed specifically to give our students a chance to pause, destress, and relax before heading into final exams and projects, the campus was buzzing with pure, carefree summertime energy! We had students and PAC throwing down in an epic hacky sack tournament (with a legendary showing from the PAC team 🥏), incredible live music, dance performances, and some seriously brave souls taking over the mic for karaoke. 🎤🎶 Add in tons of lawn games and a massive spread of summer treats, and it’s safe to say the vibes were unmatched.

It was the ultimate way to recharge the batteries, soak up the sun, and enjoy being together before diving into the final stretch of the year. 😎✨

Exams? Done. Projects? Turned in. Summer? Almost here... but first, the ultimate showdown! 🏆☀️

To celebrate surviving finals week, our Middle Schoolers teamed up across grade levels for an epic, high-stakes, high-energy Middle School Olympics! 🏅 Mixed teams battled it out in a legendary trifecta of competitions: Athletics, Amusement, and Academics. The campus was absolutely buzzing with strategy, non-stop laughter, and some seriously fierce teamwork.

Honestly, we can’t think of a better way to burn off that end-of-the-year energy and head straight into summer vacation! 🥳💦

A massive, gold-medal shoutout to our incredible coaches, PAC, and parent volunteers who helped organize, referee, and fuel the fun. This day literally wouldn't have been possible without your amazing support! 🙌❤️
