Crissey’s Community
Playground Build
If you pass by Crissey
Elementary, you may notice
a new playground and swing
structure has been installed.
Several years ago, the
Crissey Parents Club established
a vision for this wonderful
project. With a
combination of the hard
work of a very dynamic
Crissey Parents Club and
outstanding community support,
this project finally
came to fruition on Saturday,
April 6.
More than 20 dedicated
Crissey families and staff
members gathered this day
to construct the new playground
equipment. As could
have been predicted, the
community build was a
great success.
The Crissey family extends
a special thank you to
Todd Alspaugh & Associates
Inc. for their generous
donation of time and resources.
Without them, the
Area residents with a passion
and an enjoyment of
music are invited to join in
celebrating the culmination
of an academic year’s worth

New Kids on the Block
Kids on the Block, an internationally
recognized program
designed to educate
students about other students
with disabilities came to Holland
for their annual presentation.
Kids on the Block use
puppets to show students how
to understand and have compassion
for these disabilities.
They cover blindness, deafness,
mental retardation,
speech, and wheelchair
bound disabilities and
demonstrate how these students
deal with their disabilities
and how we can be
advocates for and support
these students.
Through the use of fun
and entertaining puppets,
Mrs. Engle and Mrs. Barbour
provide valuable information
in such a way that our third
grade students can't help but
learn. They sing songs using
sign language and learn how
some students can be valuable
members of society.
We value all children, and
all children can and want to
learn. Some just learn differently,
and that’s okay. Thanks
to the innovative and entertaining
way Kids on the
Block teach, our students
have learned we all are different
but we all are wonderful
creations.
