Bronco Bulletin May 22, 2024

Greetings Bronco Families,

It was another great week at Crews Middle School. So much fun and innovation throughout the week! Our 6th grade science students practiced being meteorologists and put the AKS from their weather and climate unit to good use. Our 7th grade life science students got to learn about reptiles, viviparous animals, and beyond during their Chad Crews Creature visit in the media center. Our 8th grade students heard from Brookwood High School student leaders in their ELA classes about what’s ahead. We’re so thankful for the great teaching and learning happening at Crews Middle School.

In service to others,
Principal Moffett
