Today was the big day for 5th and 6th grade! They engineered and designed a device to keep an egg safe from a 15 foot drop. Some made it, some didn’t! I wanted to send out a huge “THANK YOU!” to all of you that donated supplies and eggs! Without your donations, we couldn’t do this! All of us want to thank Mr. Brent Metcalf for getting into the lift to drop the eggs!

Dear Parents,
We are writing to inform you of a situation that was brought to our attention late last evening. Thanks to concerned students who saw the posts, we were able to take precautions this morning to ensure our students and staff were safe until a complete investigation could be conducted.
One of our top priorities is the well-being of everyone in our district. We take any and all reports of potential threats seriously, and make every effort to maintain an environment where students and staff feel safe. Our administrative team along with our School Resource Officer thoroughly investigated the situation and took actions which maintained sustained safety of our students and staff so we can continue to provide a safe learning environment for students and staff.
We encourage you to talk with your child about the seriousness of such threats and the importance of reporting any suspicious or concerning behavior, both online and in person. We would like to continue to reiterate to our students and school community the importance of reporting anything that could constitute a threat to school safety.
Thank you for your support, cooperation, and trust in us to keep everyone safe at Crane R-III.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kelli Rogers
Superintendent
Crane R-III Schools

Mrs. Moore's first hour 8th grade English class found out, through a daily question, that they all love pickles. So when the students asked if they could have a pickle party, Mrs. Moore told them yes, but only if they could all get 100% on their vocab quizzes. Guess who met their goal!
Our JV Pirates won (37-35), and the Varsity boys fell short (50-49) in a nail biter tonight against a tough Mt Vernon team.
Crane R-III is proud to spotlight our incredible educators who go above and beyond, making public education great! Join us in celebrating our Teacher Proud Tuesday honorees, Dr. Margaret East and Mrs. Addison Zheng! We would also like to thank Glossip Heating and Air for sponsoring our Teacher Proud Tuesdays by providing goodie bags for our monthly honorees! #teacherproudTuesday #bradhudson #GOCSD #smalltownsrock #communityblessed
A win feels even better when it's a CHAMPIONSHIP GAME! Way to go Pirates! 1st Place in the Pierce Tournament against the PC Eagles!
