Bronco Bulletin May 22, 2024

Greetings Bronco Families,

It’s been an exciting week at Crews! A huge thank you to the Multicultural Committee for the successful HBCU Fair and to those who prepared students for the Gwinnett Science Fair—we look forward to the results!

Good luck as we kick off the soccer season tomorrow at Shiloh High School against Bay Creek MS, and to our Fine Arts students competing in LGPE—we know you’ll do great! Lastly, best wishes to our Science Olympiad team as they head to state tomorrow.

Next week is an important one with interim exams, early release days, LGPE, and PBIS rewards day. Families, please check in with your students, and don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions or need support. Let’s keep up the momentum, Crews!

In service to others,
Principal Moffett

Please join us in congratulating her on this well-deserved celebration!
