Last night, we came together for the official dedication of Crestwood Elementary! 💙💛

We celebrated this milestone with our school board members, city leaders, families, faculty, staff, and students. Since opening its doors this fall, Crestwood has brought together two beloved school communities under one roof, creating a new chapter for our Falcons.

We are proud of this beautiful state-of-the-art facility, with cutting-edge technology and an innovative layout designed to inspire learning and collaboration. This building represents the very best of what's possible when a community works together.

Special thanks goes to Heartland Construction and Dills Architects, whose vision and craftsmanship made Crestwood Elementary possible. And to everyone who played a role in making Crestwood Elementary a reality, your dedication and inspiration have created a space where our students will thrive for generations to come.

Here's to new beginnings at Crestwood Elementary! 🏫 #CPSCelebrates

📊☁️ WEATHER SCIENTISTS AT WORK! ☁️📊
Brrr! Tomorrow is shaping up to be the coldest day of the year so far in Chesapeake, with highs only in the 40s and lows dipping into the low 30s! 🥶 Perfect timing for Crestwood Elementary’s weather labs activities!
Fourth grade students are recording daily weather data and tracking patterns such as air pressure and cloud cover to see how they correlate. Some classes use spreadsheets that auto-graph their findings, others create their own graphs by hand, and some do both! 📈
Thanks to the CWE’s outdoor weather station right on campus, students have access to accurate, real-time weather data that updates every 2.5 seconds. Now THAT'S cutting-edge science! 🌡️
👉 Check out Crestwood’s live weather data and STAY WARM! #EmpowerCPS
