Dribble. Pass. Shoot! Crestwood U11 played well as a team last night versus Bayview Glen with a final score of 30-10. Half of our baskets were made by Tao Enkin! Great defense by Evan Goldman and strong power forward played by Steven Colas! Go Crestwood Go!  

Much of our food that we buy is grown far away and often grown with chemicals and pesticides that keep insects from eating crops and help more food grow faster and larger. The problem is – these chemicals end up in the food we eat. Unfortunately, these chemicals are not healthy for us. As a

Scientists in Schools visited the grade 7 students on Thursday for an afternoon session about heat, energy, and particles.  Students did experiments with candle-powered putt-putt boats, heat lamps, metal particles, and used lots of water, thermometers, and food colouring in the process.  A hands-on and educational experience was had by all.

The 5B Class has started our science unit on Matter. In this experiment, we watched a liquid (water) change to a gas (steam). We also watched a solid (Jello powder) change to a liquid when it dissolved into the boiling water. The blue liquid then changed back into a solid in the fridge, and we ended

A huge Thank You to all member of the Crestwood community who donated items for our clothing drive. The donations started slow but grew steadily and the final count is impressive. These items will be put to good use. At Crestwood our tradition has always been to instill in our students the importance of helping those in need.

This team has

The Crestwood School Hockey Team started off their season with a dominant victory against the Pickering College Pumas.

Our home opener is next Thursday at 3:15PM

On Tuesday December 1st, the U12 girls volleyball team travelled to BSS for their game opener of the season.  With precision serving, bumping and spiking, the girls swept BSS 3 games straight.  We would like to congratulate the team on their season opening victory.  Coach Levinsky and Coach Suckstorff are very proud of the girls.  They played exceptionally well! Their next game is

On Thursday November 26, the two Grade One classes wrapped up our Nutrition Unit by visiting Loblaws.  When we first arrived, Dietician Maria took us on a ‘nutritional tour’ of the story.  She talked to us about the importance of a healthy diet and showed us the locations of all 4-food groups.  We then went

Imagine having to leave your homeland and arriving in a country in the middle of winter with practically nothing but the clothes on your back. At Crestwood our tradition has always been to instill in our students the importance of helping those in need.  With this in mind, we would like to contribute to THE CLOTHING DRIVE, which

Crestwood School’s support for many causes, including the big battle against cancer continued this month with some of our male teachers taking part in the Movember campaign. It culminated today with our own “Movember/Twin” spirit day. The whole school community was welcome to display their own moustaches or dress as someone’s twin. Students are able to

Have you ever wondered how structures stand strong and stable all around us?  Scientists in the Schools visited the Grade 3 classes on Tuesday to teach us about structural engineering.  We learned that structures are anything that can be built that serve a purpose.  Structures can be man-made or natural and must either be able
