Holtyn is Crane Elementary's first student to add his work to our Refrigerator Work space! He earned a 100% on a Finding Equivalent Fractions paper.
This space has been created for students to post work, of any subject, they are super proud of and put their best effort into completing.
If you have any school appropriate refrigerator magnets you would like to donate for students to choose from to display their work, any donations would be greatly appreciated.


There WILL be VoTech at Table Rock Career Center tomorrow even if Reeds Spring is not able to have school. The water is working at TRCC.

Mrs. Lawson's preschool class had a blast exploring colors and practicing fine motor skills! Using snow from the playground, our students took pipettes filled with colored water and carefully dropped it onto the snow. This fun activity helped them identify different colors, mix them together, and observe how new colors are created! It was a wonderful way for them to engage in hands-on learning while also developing their coordination.









Congratulations to our High School English teacher, Yearbook sponsor, and Jr Class co-sponsor, Ms. Alyssa Knight, for being selected as our January Teacher of the Month! We love having you at Crane and appreciate all you do, Ms. Knight!


There will be no VoTech tomorrow. Reeds Spring is having water issues. VoTech students need to be at school by 11:40.
