Crane has students accomplishing great things in and out of school! Our very own Kyler Allerton won the Bull Riding State Champion title this weekend in the Missouri Junior High Rodeo Association! He will be traveling to Des Moines, IA to compete at the Junior High National Finals Rodeo in June. Help us congratulate him on this win! We wish him luck and a safe ride in June! Thank you to Kyler's mom for sharing this accomplishment with us so we can join them in being proud of Kyler. Parents, if your children are achieving great things outside of school, let us know so we can praise them as well!

Update: Softball's 1st round of district play is in Purdy at 6:30 pm, not 7:30 pm. That was my mistake! ~Mrs. Mease

Last night, Logan, Collin, Nolan, Chloe, Kayleigh, and Allie's presentations for the Preschool Playground Upgrade and Expansion were presented to the Board! 🎉 They collaborated to determine how many rubber tiles are needed to transform the grassy area, making it a safe and fun space for our Preschoolers to play—especially since it's often too wet and muddy.
A huge shoutout to these students for their hard work in identifying the problem, explaining their thinking, and designing a presentation with a thoughtful solution! 🙌
Mrs. Lawson will be at the "Meet Me on Main" event on Saturday, April 26th, from 10 AM to 5 PM, selling Walking Tacos to help fund this exciting project. 🌮 We would greatly appreciate any donations!

Summer School forms for next year's 7th through 12th grade students, which includes the current 6th grade class, are in the high school office. I wanted to let parents know that we will be having Driver's Ed this summer if enough students sign up. Students must have their driver's permit to be in the class. There are also some other class options your student(s) may be interested in. We would love to have them this summer! Summer school is not limited to Crane students! If you have any questions, contact the high school office.

First grade students have been actively exploring the components of personal narrative writing. On Wednesday, April 22nd, Mrs. Custer's class took a hands-on approach to celebrate Earth Day. The students engaged in a meaningful community service project by collecting litter around the school playground fence. Following this activity, they reflected on their experiences through writing. This initiative exemplifies one of the many engaging methods students at Crane learn the foundational skills of writing.
Cox Mobile Unit will be at Crane Tuesday April 29th for sport physicals. If your student is needing a physical and you would like them to have it done here at school, please let us know so a consent can be sent home. We will need at least 10 students signed up in order to have this service provided at the school.
Thank you to KY3 for bringing your Weather Tour to Crane R-III! It was great to see so many people from the school, community, and surrounding communities come out this evening.
