I sent this out to parents of VoTech students on Friday, but want to post a reminder that there is no VoTech tomorrow, March 9th even though we have school. Students who attend TRCC need to arrive at school at 11:40.

Our High School Student Council is excited about our upcoming spring break, so we're taking this week to get ready for it with some spring fever. Tomorrow we will have a PJ day since our clocks made us lose an hour!

Crane Elementary Refrigerator Work - Week 26: Maverick added his 3-digit by 3-digit subtraction quiz, with some regrouping. He scored a 4 on this quiz. Jonah completed his #18 morning work, using his best coloring and writing. Lydia mastered 40+ kindergarten sight words. This is an end of the year goal that she mastered in 3rd Quarter. Franchezka added her 9s division page to the Fridge Space. She answered 60 division problems in under 3 minutes, and then completed the same number of problems, on the back side of the paper, in less time than the front. Students, keep up the great work!

This Friday, March 6th, Ms. Knight will take school portraits for students who were either absent from school or not enrolled at Crane on picture day (Sep. 18) and retake day (Nov. 13). Elementary and JH/HS students we indentified without 2025 portraits (enrolled after November 14th or absent on both previous picture days) will recieve a flyer with additional details about these pictures.
These make-up portraits are a courtesy from our yearbook staff, and we hope to get everyone that was missed on previous picture days! As we quickly approach the end of another school year, our student team is working hard to finish the yearbook. Unfortunately, if a student was absent for both picture day and retake day, and they are also absent this Friday, they will likely not have a portrait in this year's book due to our production schedule.
The Pirates pick up a huge sectional win over Lockwood in the Class 2 MSHSAA State Tournament. They will now play on Saturday against Eugene. The game time is 1:00 at Buffalo HS.

Our Agriculture Department was one of only three schools in the United States selected to receive a CR7+ Precision Ag Guidance Display, an advanced system that can be mounted on equipment to support planting, fertilizing, seeding, and more.
Last week, our ag construction class had the incredible opportunity to learn the ins and outs of this technology, install the display, and even test it on one of our mowers. There’s truly no substitute for hands-on learning, and this experience brought real-world agricultural innovation straight into our classroom.
A huge thank you to Mr. Hensley for pursuing and securing this grant opportunity for our students!

Mrs. Custer's third-grade class took part in Malcolm Mitchell's Read Bowl this year. The students set a target to read a total of 7,200 minutes from January 12 to February 7. Impressively, they surpassed this goal by completing 7,528 minutes of reading. Each student aimed to read 120 minutes per week to contribute to this achievement, and they succeeded. As a reward for their hard work, they enjoyed a pizza party today, Friday, January 27th. Congratulations to Mrs. Custer's class on reaching and exceeding your reading goal!
