Last night, we were honored to host our very first Immigrant Thanksgiving, an event created to welcome the students and families who joined the Crestwood community from around the world this past year. Together, we shared food, laughter, and traditions while introducing our newest community members to American culture and strengthening the connection between home, school, and community.

A heartfelt thank you to the NHS, Key Club, our dedicated ESL team, central office staff, Cheryl Rivera from CECC, and our incredible custodial staff for making this event possible. A very special thank you as well to Najah Jannoun and the Crestwood PTA for their generous support.

We also extend our deepest appreciation to Zainab Jawad, Tagred Hazime, and Hanaa Hessi for their leadership, commitment, and the care they put into creating a warm, welcoming experience for our families.

We are proud of our diverse community, and grateful to celebrate it.
