Prom 2024 was "Starry Night" fun! The junior class worked hard to pay for the event by selling ice cream, working concessions, and volunteering at SDC. Thanks to the whole community for helping put money in our account!
The young ladies on the Prom Committee (Lorene Mease, Savannah McKinley, Drew Chisam, Makayla Kerr, Nicole McDowell, Hunter Cleveland, Abbi Wells, Alyssa Keller, Leah Boulton, Sayd Vaught, & Lily Woodward) worked hard to make all the selections and choices that turned a blank canvas into an elegant, starry space.
Thank you so much to Chad Vaught and Eric East for bouncing around on ladders to hang our "stars". Mr. Mullins did the same to get them down. Thanks also to Chad for transporting all the balloons we blew up on Friday. We blew up over a 1000.
Kara McKnight, Cara McKinley, Braylon Merritt, Sonja Merritt, and Marcy Larimore helped the prom committee decorate in the morning, and Beth Funcannon, Melody and Jeremy Mullins, Karen Faucett, Joe and Jenni Brown, Tara Mease, and Kylie and Eric Shoenberger helped us chaperone the event. They also helped us clear away the decor in an hour (it was aerobic cleaning), after prom.
The seniors voted for David Murray and Anna Giacobazzi to be our King and Queen, and both seemed super surprised!
Lastly, Ms. Knight spent the whole day and a half before the event helping us blow up balloons, decorating the portrait backgrounds, and taking portraits during the event. She also spent countless hours making sure the Prom slideshow was amazing...and it was! Now, all we need to do next year is make a prom for our upcoming seniors that feels as successful. The Crane community is awesome, so I'm sure we can!
Today we announced Mrs. Sonja Merritt as the Teacher of the Year for Crane R-III! She was honored at the Table Rock Lake Chamber of Commerce Luncheon today as well! Congratulations, Mrs. Merritt, you make us proud!
Summer School forms for students who are currently in grades 6 through 11 are available in the high school office and have been given to the 6th grade teachers as well. In addition to credit recovery for those students required to attend summer school, we also have some fun classes for our students to choose from as well as classes such as PE, Health, and Personal Finance. Any classes taken by students who will be in high school next year will be for credits toward graduation.
The HS track meet in Fair Grove today has been canceled.
The baseball game at New Covenant today has been canceled.
Greetings Pirates!
Prom photos have been posted to the junior and senior Google Classrooms. Also, as we head into the end of the 2023-2024 school year, I wanted to share a preview of some of the incredible work our yearbook students have made for this year's theme [Our Adventure Book]. I also want to remind everyone that, while we can't share all our event pictures throughout the year as that is the primary value of the yearbook, every book comes packed with QR codes that you can scan to access all the photos, videos, slideshows, and more we captured throughout the school year.
Don't miss out on these memories for years to come, and make sure you order your yearbook before the deadline! Yearbook orders are open until June 2024. All yearbook orders are conducted online as our publisher does not accept cash or check payments.
Please view the attached photo[s] for details and/or visit our online yearbook store at [https://shop.yearbookmarket.com/craneelementaryandhighschool].
Questions and assistance with yearbook ordering may be directed to Wagner Portrait Group. Their customer service request form [https://www.wagnerportraitgroup.com/csform] is the easiest way to get in touch, but they also have a customer service phone number [314.567.5900]. Any other questions may be directed to the yearbook advisor, Ms. Knight, at knighta@crane.k12.mo.us.
2024 Summer School enrollment forms were sent home with PreK-4th grade students today. (5th grade students will get their forms tomorrow.) Included with this form is information about the theme each grade level will be doing. This will be a fun and educational summer experience!
