We are well into April, but we just finished up our March Madness challenge in the Jr High and High School! We had a lot of fun! Teachers & staff competed against each other in various challenges from dice, archery, and tic tac toe to less commonly known games such as who has the fattest cat, yard stick/dice/flamingo "putt-putt", and penny rolling! We also have the champion of a Gilmore Girls quiz if you're wondering. We had a lot of fun, but in the end, there can only be one champion. Congratulations to Mike Morelock on your championship win over Ashley Cutbirth in corn hole. Enjoy your winnings and bragging rights!
I would like to take a moment to share an update regarding my transition from my role as Crane Elementary principal. Today, 4/16/26, will be my last day serving in this position. I have decided to use the remainder of my sick days accumulated since my return to the district in 2017. I will be moving back to a kind of classroom role, serving as the Pate library media specialist in the Aurora R-8 school district for the 2026-2027 school year.
I am grateful for my time at Crane R-III (17 years). I am incredibly thankful for the relationships I have built with students, staff, parents, and the community.
All elementary questions and concerns can be directed to the Elementary Office, where they will be routed to the appropriate person. Dr. Rogers will continue to provide support for our students and school community. Mr. Mullins will continue overseeing and addressing discipline matters. Mrs. Glossip will continue in her counseling role and be part of the collaborative efforts of the administrative team.
Thank you!
Mrs. Megan Blair

We had a handful of elementary students add their work to our Refrigerator Space this week. Willow, Adlie, and Curtis aced their addition and subtraction with measurement quiz. Sola got all of her answers correct on her measurement quiz. Jolene wrote an opinion/argumentative paper supporting the book she liked best. Great work students!!
