Bronco Bulletin May 22, 2024

Greetings Bronco Families,

What a fabulous, jam‑packed week at Crews! From interim testing to Gwinnett Writes, PBIS Rewards Day, and our Bronco of the Month celebration, it was absolutely fantastic. We’re so proud of the work our students are doing and thrilled about the opportunities they’ve had.

Shout‑out to our Science Fair participants—all of our projects placed at the Gwinnett County Science, Engineering, and Innovation Fair—and to our performing arts students who continue to shine during LGPE. If you get a chance this weekend, check out the Hawks game; our Blazing Broncettes Dance Team will be performing at halftime. Keep the congratulations coming for everything our students are accomplishing!

In service to others,
Principal Moffett

On Saturday, February 28, the Crews Science Olympiad team competed at the Regional Tournament hosted by Georgia State University - Atlanta. We are so incredibly proud of the 59 students who competed and helped Crews secure a first-place trophy, the first regionals win in our school’s history! They have worked so hard this school year.
