Welcome back to school, Crickets! #202proud
I'm thrilled to introduce myself! My name is Kristen Salgado, and I'm excited to be your new Principal here at Crystal Lawns Elementary. I've already heard so many heartwarming things about our amazing community, and I'm looking forward to diving in and supporting all of our fantastic students, families, and teachers for many years to come.
What makes this feel extra special for me is that my journey in education actually began right here in the Plainfield School District, a whole 30 years ago, as a Student Teacher at Crystal Lawns! It feels wonderful to be back and working to support the school that supported me as a young teacher. Since then, I've had the incredible privilege of working as both a Teacher and an Assistant Principal within several schools across the district.
I would love for all of you to join me for an informal Meet and Greet! Please save the date for Popsicles with the Principal on August 5th from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Stop by the front of the school for a popsicle and a quick chat. This will be such a lovely chance for us to connect, share smiles, and get to know each other. I truly can't wait to hear your stories about Crystal Lawns and have the chance to meet some of the incredible students and parents who make our school feel like one big, happy family.
Can't wait to see you there!
