I would like to update two paragraphs in the History section of this article:

In 2021, Crescent acquired the land owned by the Bob Rumball Canadian Centre of Excellence for the Deaf], a seven-acre property bordering the north end of the school campus. ^[1]

Over the past eight years, four Crescent teachers have been recipients of the Prime Minister’s Awards for Teaching Excellence. In 2014, Sylvia Duckworth was awarded a National Certificate of Excellence in Prime Minister's Awards for Teaching Excellence.[4]David Grant, Michael Jansen and Natalie Vera were each awarded a Certificate of Achievement in 2015, 2017 and 2020 respectively.[5] ^[2]

• Please remember you are not writing a school prospectus, but an encyclopaedia entry. None of the above suggestions would actually be encyclopaedic apart from the teacher awards I’m guessing. In fact, the majority of this article reads like an advert for the school. Equine-man (talk) 23:11, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for making the changes. I believe that the acquisition of the Bob Rumball Centre property is a notable addition to the page and respectfully ask that you reconsider adding it to the About section. I also ask respectfully that you include Natalie Vera's recognition as a recipient of the Prime Minister's Award for Teaching Excellence. I have cited the source of this information.

Crescent's Robotics program is part of our core offering, and has recently been removed from our Wikipedia listing. I am hoping to add back an abridged version:

Robotics Since 2000, Crescent’s Team 610 has been involved with FIRST Robotics Competition, an international competition in which professionals and high school students are teamed together to solve an engineering design problem in an intense yet cooperative way. Team 610 won the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) Championship as part of the three-team Winning Alliance. ^[3] LyndaTinTO (talk) 18:25, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Wiki editors. I would like to implement the above changes to the Crescent School entry. I believe these changes are appropriate for our listing but I need your help to implement them. Thank youLyndaTinTO (talk) 14:32, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• I think you have promoted this school enough, it's starting to look more like an advert. AgentScarlett (talk) 16:41, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the pictures detract from the article. I think they should be removed or reduced in size.  ;) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 1sttomars (talk • contribs) 21:36, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
