During summer school, Mrs. Back's 1st grade class set a goal to read 1,000 minutes during summer school. They read independently to build reading stamina, listened to Mrs. Back read aloud, and spent time listening to friends from Stone County Library read too! They hit their goal and got to celebrate Friday with gummy snacks and a prize from the treasure box! Way to Go, First Grade!
We encourage you to keep reading over the summer!
High School students who kept their chromebooks for online summer school classes need to turn in their chromebooks to the high school office by 4:00 tomorrow, Friday, June 22nd. We will be in the office until 4:00 today as well. Thank you!
Dear Crane R-III,
As most of you know, I am retiring and moving to KS. I want to take this time to thank you. Thank you for letting me be part of your children's life. Thank you for accepting me and welcoming me into your community. Thank you for making the last 8 years amazing.
I also want you to take time to realize what a topnotch school you have. We love your kids here at Crane R-III and that won't change with me leaving! You have a wonderful community that is so supportive of our school. Please don't change that! Your teachers and staff need your support.
Thank you and I will always remember Crane as a amazing time in my life!
Dr. Chris Johnson
We have said it before, and we will continue to say it because we know Crane R-III is blessed with a supportive community! In fact, thanks to an anonymous donor who recently moved to the community, every student's outstanding lunch balance from this past school year has been paid off! This generous donation is very much appreciated!
Please join us in welcoming our newest preschool teacher to Crane Elementary! As the saying goes...once a Pirate, always a Pirate!
