Crestwood Elementary-Junior High School

One of the Education courses I took early in my degree program involved having to observe classes at an elementary and a junior high school, just to make sure we had made the right career choice. I was sent to Crestwood for my elementary round. What a nice place! I grew p not far from here and always wondered how Crestwood differed from Parkview, where I attended. The kids were very sweet and the teachers knew what they were doing. One of the teachers who was there at that time was Dave Eggen, who became an MLA for a number of years with the NDP party, and is now the Executive Director of Friends of Medicare. Many of the teachers back then were on the younger side, had lots of energy, and seemed to enjoy what they were doing.
