Greetings! The 2024 Graduation video is edited and available for you to view. This was my first time doing videography and video editing for an event of this importance, but I certainly learned a lot in the process. Hopefully, if I do this again, I will be able to make the next one even better!

Crane R-III is hoping to receive a grant to offer one section of full-day three-year-old preschool for the 2024-2025 school year. We will not know if we receive the funding until July, but we would like to have an idea of how many residents would send their three-year-olds on a daily basis. Eligible students would have to turn three by August 1, 2024. The Elementary office will begin contacting families in August letting them know if their child will have a spot on the roster. If you are interested in your three-year-old child attending full-day preschool at Crane Elementary, please complete the Google Form at https://forms.gle/1WuJ4E2Y3BSHHiXw7
If your child is attending Summer School, and you have completed an enrollment form, you should have received a phone from Danielle Chastain about bus route pick up points. If you have not received a phone call please contact the HS office 417-723-5300, ext 901.
Congratulations Class of 2024!
While the yearbook staff is processing photos and videos from graduation, we wanted to provide a preview for all our expectant families. Seniors and senior families, don't forget to order a yearbook before June 28th in order to access all the high-resolution photos we took at graduation. If you have any questions or concerns about yearbook ordering, please email the yearbook advisor, Ms. Knight (Knighta@crane.k12.mo.us).
QR codes to access formal graduation pictures will be provided when seniors pick up their diplomas, but keep an eye out for a graduation video later this week. We don't have the means to print photos, but our digital files through Google Drive are easy to download for any size printing!
Thank you seniors and senior families; it was a privilege and an honor to capture this day for you.

Our Jr High and High School May Students of the Month are 8th grader Lilly Mullins and Junior Bex Lambert! About Lilly, her nominating teacher shared: Lilly has shown what it means to be a "teacher's kid". It can be extremely hard sometimes, but she always shows hard work and determination even in her school work. Multiple teachers nominated Bex over the course of the year. About Bex, those teachers shared: 1) Bex started the year off with a great attitude and remained determined to be successful. Bex has a plan for next year, has added a job to their responsibilities, and successfully keeps organized. 2) Bex is an amazing young person who always works diligently on assignments, has a job, helps take care of siblings, and keeps straight A's on report cards. It has been a privilege to get to know her. 3) Bex is an amazing person with a great sense of humor and is a pleasure to be around. Bex has a hectic schedule and has done a tremendous job keeping everything balanced.

Tomorrow, Friday, May 10th, is our assemblies day for the Jr High and High School. We will start off the day with our awards assembly at 8:00 am followed by our Seniors' traditional "Decision Day" at approximately 10:00 to 10:30. Decision Day is an opportunity for our seniors to be recognized for what they will be doing after graduation, be it college, trade school, or joining the workforce. It is a great opportunity for our underclassmen to see the various options they have to consider! Parents are welcome to attend!
We had a great first day of Junior High Cheerleading Tryouts, with the help of a few of our high school cheerleaders!
Due to the possibility of weather getting bad, there will be NO tryouts tomorrow (Wednesday, May 7th)
We will resume on Thursday in the high school gym after school until 5:30! If you have any questions, please email Ms.Anderson!
