(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I graduated Crown in 1972. I remember Mr. James, Mr. Hasagawa and Ms. Gloria Pritikin, she was my fourth grade teacher and made a great impact upon my life. Crown was the cener of our community and my world. Crown was a wonderful learning environment with saturday program that took me to many places of interest in chicago and truly helped to shape the personthat I have become. I am an Interior Designer, Yoga Teacher and Entreprenur

- I enjoyed attending Crown. I graduated in 1971 (or 70). I can clearly recall my very first day in Miss Jackson's (she married a year or two later and became Mrs. Davies) kindergarten class. I participated in a program during the 5th or 6th grade called Operation Wingspread (not sure if that was the official name), where our class swapped with one from Wheaton. Fond, fond memories. As an adult, I've spent my career gov't, radio and now as an entrepreneur.
All the best!
