Mrs. Laura Moore, Jr High English teacher, set a challenge for her students to read 20 books this year. Today, as a reward for those who completed the challenge, Mrs. Moore took 18 students to Rutledge-Wilson Farm Park and Sunshine Lanes for bowling. Everyone had a great time! Thank you Mrs. Moore!

Our Jr High baseball boys split this evening. The A team lost, 6-5, and the B team won, 8-4.

Stone County Treasurer and Elite Ms. Petite USA, Kristi Stephens, joined us at school today for separate assemblies with our Jr High and High School students. She spoke about the power of perspective and perseverance. "Don't do different things, DO THINGS DIFFERENT" is her challenge to us because failure is easier to face than regret. Our students were great, and Kristi was great! Thank you for the impactful words!

Yesterday, our high school J.A.G. students, as well as many of our Juniors and Seniors, attended the Build My Future event in Springfield. Build My Future is an opportunity for students to explore different careers in the construction and trade fields. Students were able to get some hands on experience at this awesome event!









Our Jr High baseball boys fought hard, but didn’t come away with a win tonight. Both the A and B teams lost by 1 run, 5 to 4.

The JH Baseball game has been moved to a 5:30 start time in Galena. Good luck tonight boys.

Over the last two days, six of our Crane High School J.A.G. students were competeing at the Career Development Conference in Jefferson City, and they were also able to get an in depth tour of the Missouri State Capitol. Hunter, Morgan, and Tailor Cleveland, Callie Erickson, Gabe Stewart, and Hunter Campbell did a fantastic job of representing Crane R-3 Schools in the competitions with their professionalism and positive mindset. These students put in a lot of hours, working hard to compete and giving a commendable effort. We are confident they will use what they have learned and come back stronger next year!










Our Jr High baseball team made an impressive comeback tonight to beat Spokane 7-5!

Our Varsity Pirates fell to Reeds Spring tonight, 10 runs to 4. JV Pirates are coming home with the win, 7-5!
