Pre-K Teacher Ms. Torres is virtually teaching and modeling the color pink with her Lester Crawl #LittleLearners!
Lester Crawl was the recipient of the generosity of Enchanted Backpack! Angela Okroi applied in the fall of 2019 and the delivery was completed on August 20, 2020. Staff cheered as the custodial staff wheeled in a van load of supplies for our students and staff. Staff are sorting through the boxes and will start reaching out to the families. Thank you Mrs. Okroi for taking the initiative to apply for Lester Crawl's #LittleLearners - you are #158Strong!
District 158 is honored to be named a 2020 National Finalist and Closing the Achievement Gap Runner-Up for District Administration's Districts of Distinction Award! We have been recognized for creating equity in facilities to better serve our at-risk student populations. Looking forward to continuing this initiative with the renovation and expansion of Lester Crawl. Stay tuned! #158Strong
Lester Crawl was happy to reschedule our reverse car parade last week and say goodbye to our #LittleLearners and their families. We hope everyone stays safe and has a good summer!

Attention Parent(s)/Guardian(s):
It is with a heavy heart that we inform you that all activities at District 158's five schools - including grab-and-go-meals at Coolidge, diploma pickup at Memorial, and car parades at our elementary buildings - are being cancelled on June 2-3, 2020 due to ongoing safety concerns. The start of summer meals is also being postponed until further notice. We will inform you when these activities will resume and again appreciate your flexibility during these difficult and unprecedented times. This may not be how we were planning to end the 2019-2020 school year but the health, safety, and well-being of our students, staff, and families are of the utmost importance.
District 158's staff will continue to be available remotely and parents who would like to setup individual, reserved registration appointments starting this Thursday, June 4 may still do so. Remember that all appropriate safety precautions will be observed. We wish all of our families well with the end of the school year and start of Summer Break. Please keep calm, be safe, and stay #158Strong!

Our #158Strong families have been dropping by this week to pickup their students' belongings. Please join us today (Wednesday, May 13) at Coolidge, Oak Glen, and Reavis 9:00-11:00 AM or Memorial 9:00 AM-3:00 PM (sixth grade) if you haven't had a chance to do so. Memorial's graduates have also been taking pictures in their caps and gowns, which are being provided free this year because of the pandemic. Look for an announcement soon about our #MightyMustangs Graduation - we are incredibly proud of our eighth graders! This may not be how any of us pictured ending the year but we're having fun, staying safe, and celebrating the end of the year together. Parents, thank you for your partnership during this unprecedented time. #CoolidgeCares #OakGlenGrizzlies #RoadrunnerPride
