Crane R-III School District

What do you get when you combine the following? One class who zoomed with a soldier serving in the US Army. + One class who compared and contrasted Memorial Day with Veterans’ Day. + Many classes who colored pictures for veterans. + An entire elementary school (K-6th) who led the Pledge of the Allegiance during the Veterans’ Day assembly. + Many classes of who wrote thank you letters to veterans. + Five elementary students who read their letter to veterans at the assembly. + Elementary character council who helped present the military branch flags. = You get a wonderful day of learning about all the ways Pirates are grateful for all the veterans who have or are serving our country! Happy Veterans’ Day!

The Pirate Gram for the Week of November 1, 2022. https://www.smore.com/sj5p8

Our marching Pirates combined with the marching Seymour Tigers for the MSU Homecoming parade today. It is next to impossible for small bands to place in this parade, so band directors Mrs. Alyssa Packwood and Mrs. Caroline Collins made a bigger one! The bands were not eligible to place, but the experience for the kids was worth it. What a great learning experience and example of working together between schools!

Tonight's flag football and bonfire event is for signed up 9th through 12th grade students only. It is a students only event. Thank you!

Elementary students were being greeted by Junior High students dressed as two of the three little pigs and the butcher…we are wondering where the third pig went.
