Congratulations 6th Grade Students!
Mrs. Conley is moving on...
We are so excited and so sad that Mrs. Conley has decided to take a new position in our organization! We are extremely proud of her and all her hard work. She will be working at the district-level on Technology Initiatives. Crissman has been so fortunate to have her at our school for 23 years. She has touched so many lives and created so many memories!
We wish you well, Mrs. Conley! Good luck!
A letter from Mrs. Conley...
To My Crissman Family,
This letter is so difficult for me as Crissman has been a huge piece of my life for 23 years. Starting in 1998 in a first grade classroom, I never realized where my road would lead. I’m so fortunate to have been at this building for so long.
Being the Media Center teacher has been the best gift because I get to know all your kids and families. I have had the privilege of seeing their journey begin at 5 years old and end as amazing 6th graders, ready to take on the world. Although always hard to see them leave that last time, it has always been a true joy.
Now, it is time for me to be the one to leave. As I have decided to take a new position in UCS, it’s my relationships I’ve made at Crissman that solidify to me that no matter where I go, I will always have a home here. This community has been so amazing to me throughout the years. It is because of all of you that I truly enjoyed this job! I’m super excited for this new adventure, but NOTHING can replace the love I have for and have received from these kids. They have had my heart and always will.
I thank you all for making my years at Crissman the very best! I WILL FOREVER LOVE MY CRISSMAN FAMILY.
Mrs. Conley
