Fay Kafi, School Psychologist at Riverside Middle School, gave a student something he'd never received before: proof that he was capable. When years of poor grades had convinced him otherwise, one conversation about his IQ results and the challenges affecting his academic performance changed everything. This is what it looks like when we separate cognitive ability from academic achievement and help students rewrite their own stories.

Amy Bertolissio and her team at Kinloch Elementary School understand something powerful: confidence isn't built in leaps, it's built in moments. When a third grader reading at kindergarten level needs support, it's educators like Amy who create the safe space for trying, celebrating each word sounded out and each line read without stopping. This is the heart of our commitment to literacy growth across Crestwood, one student and one small win at a time.

Meet Kristen Hawrot, a teacher at Hillcrest Elementary School whose rainforest unit reminded us what's possible when we design learning for ALL students. Her insight about nonverbal students finding their voice through AAC devices and visual cues captures the heart of inclusive education. Weeks of student persistence proved that truly engaging lessons create lasting impact far beyond the moment. This is the kind of teaching that moves our district forward.

When students feel safe, they soar. Marisa McNulty, a teacher at Highview Elementary School, creates a classroom environment where young writers find the confidence to take risks and share their stories. Her focus on vocabulary and encouragement not only builds skills but also strengthens students' belief in themselves. This is what happens when we center supportive learning environments in everything we do.

Sean Mason teaches Drawing at Crestwood High School, where he guides students of all levels through challenging projects that ask them to see themselves differently. His Self Portrait unit proved what happens when personal investment meets rigorous instruction: students produced work they were genuinely proud of. That blend of skill-building and authentic engagement is exactly what we celebrate across our district.
We’re proud to showcase the impactful work and meaningful moments happening across Crestwood School District! At Highview Elementary School, consistent support and collaboration are helping English Language Learners build their language skills, gain confidence, and achieve meaningful academic growth. By working together and meeting students where they are, our Crestwood educators are opening doors to success and helping every learner recognize their potential.
When Rachel Faber noticed students kept mixing up Cinco de Mayo with Mexican Independence Day, she didn't just repeat the lesson louder. She teamed up with fellow world language teachers to create a competition that brought the Battle of Puebla to life. Rachel's willingness to collaborate across departments transformed a common misconception into an annual tradition that gets students genuinely invested in cultural learning. This is the kind of innovative teaching that makes Crestwood special.

What happens when you trust the process and never give up on a student? Daniel Regan, a teacher at Crestwood High School, showed us exactly that during our end-of-year Professional Development day. His story is a powerful reminder that consistency, clear expectations, and unwavering belief in our students can transform lives. This is the kind of work that happens every day across our district when educators stay committed to preparing students for success.

When students start choosing math games over screen time, you know something powerful is happening. Julie Snook, a teacher at Kinloch Elementary School, watched her second graders transform from hesitant learners into confident mathematicians through intentional game-based learning. Her insight reminds us that building student confidence isn't just about test scores—it's about creating spaces where students feel capable, engaged, and excited to learn. This is the kind of innovation happening across Crestwood every day.
When Lexi Garbacik took her kindergartners to observe penguins at the Detroit Zoo, she wasn't just planning a field trip. She was creating an experience where every learner could shine, especially those who struggle to show understanding through traditional assessments. This is the kind of thoughtful, student-centered teaching that defines our Crestwood community.
Meet Rosanna Guido, a paraprofessional at Highview Elementary School who knows that the best learning happens when joy and skill-building go hand in hand. In her Kindergarten classroom, Rosanna created a bug-themed word activity where students cut, pasted, laughed, and helped each other without being asked. Her insight reminds us that when we honor children's imagination and give them space to collaborate, deep engagement follows naturally.
