All 428 CPS students in grades PK-2 experienced an amazing performance at St. Ignatius’ Breen Center for the Performing Arts in Ohio City.  The performance Babes in Toyland featured a variety of performances from ballet to modern dance.  The Dancing Wheels Integrated Dance Company features dancers who are in wheelchairs and those who are not in wheelchairs. The school was able to attend the performance was made possible by a Hiram Community Trust grant awarded to Eileen Kelly, Monica Grebb and Stacy Turner, as well as, funding by an anonymous donor, the CPS PTO and the CPS Principal’s Account.  

The 2^nd graders at Crestwood Primary School put on quite a show this year.  The students along with Mrs. Gilles and accompanist Pat Strainer, danced and sang the night away to many holiday favorites such as Oh Christmas Tree, You’re A Mean One Mr. Grinch and Carol of the Bells. Mrs. Gilles does an amazing job of including everyone student in the performance with a special part.  The audience was entertained from start to finish! 

The CPS PTO is once again providing the Zoo Club Program for students once a month.  The Akron Zoo visits CPS once a month to educate students about different animals.  The Akron Zoo brings along many animal friends such as rabbits, turtles and ducks to name a few.  Students are able to touch the animals and last month students were able to feed the ducks right out of their hands.  Mrs. Nicole Santin is in charge of Zoo Club and along with her volunteers she provides a snack and an amazing time for our students.
