Please come see your teachers today for Open House! We also need at least on parent/guardian to attend the Crane Athletics meeting immediately following Open House. The meeting will start at 7:00 in the high school gym. We look forward to seeing all of you.
With the increased enrollment over the last week, we got to add a section of third grade at Crane Elementary! We were lucky to find, Ms. Amanda Ginter. This means class placements changed for some 3rd grade students. Families of 3rd graders can check Dojo to see which class their child is in!
Please help us welcome her to the Pirate family!
Hello Crane families! My name is Amanda Ginter, and I am beyond excited to start my journey at Crane Elementary as a 3rd grade teacher. I have two amazing kids, Austin (12) and Marilyn (18). Daniel, my significant other, is very supportive and looking forward to my adventure at Crane as well. In our free time we love to go floating, camping, target shooting, raising cattle, and playing cards with family. We like to keep life simple, yet adventurous!
I am blessed beyond measure to be joining Crane and working with all of their amazing educators. It's going to be a great year to be a Pirate!
Welcome aboard, Ms. Ginter!
