Choir
At Crestview, we celebrate the joy of vocal music through our upper elementary and lower elementary choirs. In our upper elementary choir, students in fourth to sixth grade explore a rich repertoire of choral pieces as they hone their vocal skills and musicality. Meanwhile, our lower elementary choir introduces students in kindergarten to third grade to the magic of singing, laying the foundation for a lifelong love of music.

Clubs For those children who want to explore their own interests, we offer many different clubs, including a creative writing club, a surf club, and a debate club. Students propose and run these clubs with support of a faculty advisor. |

Musical Theater Founded by a former sixth-grade student, this captivating program takes center stage during the winter and spring months, allowing third to sixth grade students to shine both on and off the stage. Our musical theater program fosters creativity, teamwork, and self-expression, giving students the unique opportunity to explore the magic of the performing arts. Through dynamic rehearsals and exhilarating performances, students develop confidence, discipline, and a lifelong appreciation for musical theater. The program culminates in a performance in May.

Reading Buddies Crestview prides itself on the strong sense of community within our school and our students. The relationship between older students and younger is warm and caring, and nowhere is that more apparent than in our Reading Buddies Program. Students in third to fifth grades serve as mentors, friends, and, of course, Reading Buddies for students in transitional kindergarten to second grade. Together they share many a good book as well as field trips, class presentations, and other engaging activities. Our oldest students in sixth grade serve as school wide role models and leaders as their former young buddies become mentors for the incoming kindergartners.
