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.
