For our Junior and Senior families, save the date for April 25th; Crane's 2026 Prom. The juniors have been hard at work for the whole school year to create our custom decorations, fundraise for the DJ and venue, and plan the event itself. Though students know already, this is a gentle reminder that Prom Dues and Guests Tickets must be paid by March 6th. Our venue seating is limited, so we need payments by the deadline to guarantee a spot at our only formal dance of the year! Please see the attached flyer for details, and reach out to Ms. Knight (knighta@crane.k12.mo.us) if you have concerns about paying for dues or tickets.

It's always a great day when you get to pet sheep! Friday, February 20th, some of Mrs. Moore's 7th Grade English students finalized a project in which they researched a country, wrote about it, then presented. Kinlea Essick's country was New Zealand: a country known for free-roaming sheep and its sheep industry.

Tonight, the Lady Pirates took on the Pierce City Lady Eagles in a hard-fought matchup. The girls battled from start to finish and left it all on the court, but came up just short in the final seconds of the game. We are proud of the grit and determination our Lady Pirates showed tonight! Crane 62: Pierce City 63

Dawson wrote a complete sentence all by himself! His kindergarten class was given a picture prompt on the board and he wrote a complete sentence about the picture.
Thompson answered all of his three digit subtraction problems correctly! Some of the problems required regrouping.
Keep up the great work!
