Crane R-III School District

High School Girls Basketball Schedule

Recently, we had the pleasure of welcoming Representative Burt Whaley to our school!
During his visit, Representative Whaley met with our 3rd graders to review how a bill becomes a law and spoke with our high school government students about important issues impacting our state.
We truly appreciate him taking the time to spend the day with our students and for demonstrating what civic engagement looks like in action.

Our October Students of the Month in the Jr High and High School are Ada Rinker and Shia Fields. About Ada, her teachers shared: 1) Ada comes to STOMP class everyday and does a wonderful job when it comes to preparation. She is a great listener and asks questions whenever they are needed. She is willing to help her classmates when they need help as well. 2) Ada always has a can do attitude. She's always willing to work and help out. Ada makes learning fun! 3) Ada always brings a smile to my class. She is consistently engaged in classroom discussions and is always trying to find ways to improve. About Shia, his teachers shared: With calm, steady confidence, this student is leading the way in his government class. His perspective on a lot of issues is unique and necessary for us to hear. He learns, and learns well, everyday, and we are all so thankful he is with us in class. Also, he's funny and smiles politely at my humor. I appreciate that. Not much is missed by him. Hip, hip, horah for Shia!
Congratulations and thank you both, Ada and Shia!!
