It was a wonderful week at Crestwood! Wednesday afternoon was our buddy day across the grade levels. 4th-grade buddies taught their 1st-grade buddies how to play card games and enjoyed building relationships with one another!

KDG had a fun visit from their third-grade buddies! They enjoyed reading Crestwood’s Book of the Month “The Colors of Us.” The book tells the story of a little girl who notices all the many shades of skin her friends and neighbors have as she walks through her neighborhood, and then how she mixes paints in order to be able to paint each of her friends and their unique skin colors. Buddies learned lots of different words to describe different shades of skin.

Pollen is usually the biggest cause of allergy symptoms.

What is pollen?

Pollen is the grains or tiny seeds of flowering plants, trees, and grasses. These seeds can be carried on the wind and can cause various symptoms, or none at all, in individuals who are exposed to them.

What health problems can pollen cause?

For people with hay fever, also known as “allergic rhinitis,” breathing in pollen can cause sneezing, congestion, and a runny nose. Pollen exposure can also result in “allergic conjunctivitis” in some individuals, causing red, watery, or itchy eyes.
