Attention Book Blaster families! We have only a few days left! Now is the time to contribute through the invitation from your favorite student or to make a school-wide contribution: https://tinyurl.com/CuyunaRangeESCommLink. You have until Sunday night to contribute.
Thank you to everyone in our community and beyond that have contributed to our Book Blast event! Your support will help students take home as many books as possible, up to 10 each. In our quest to promote literacy and reading, every new book is like gold to be treasured!


At the end of September, a small group of Crosby-Ironton seniors had the opportunity to travel to Washington D.C and Gettysburg. Students were able to explore the Smithsonian, Washington’s Mount Vernon, the U.S. Capital, various monuments, Arlington National Cemetery…to name a few. Four days of jam packed history gave students a new perspective of the U.S. to intrigue their learning throughout their senior year studies!
A big shout-out to Mrs. Schenk (McDonald), for organizing such an amazing opportunity for our students. Thank you!




Congratulations to our final Treasure Chest winner , Cuyler Williams! The Book Blast is going strong as we approach these last few days of the event. It’s not too late to complete your Treasure Map, earn your prizes, and help your child’s teacher earn a shopping spree to purchase books and supplies for the classroom! When 60% of the classroom students register and invite 10+ friends and family members, that teacher will earn a $100 shopping spree. If ALL the classroom students invite 10+ friends and family members, the teacher will earn a $200 shopping spree.


Mr. Schafbuch’s basic auto class has been busy working on vehicles. They have been doing oil changes, brakes, and other miscellaneous work. What great hands-on learning!





Power up! Our 3rd Book Blast Treasure Chest winner is Gavyn Broppe! Congratulations!
Did you know that Book Blast contributions help ensure all our students receive books? After your student earns all 10 books from the book list, additional contributions help provide more books for all our students, classrooms, and the library. Your involvement makes a world of difference!

This week, Mrs. Schubert's junior high classes had the opportunity to learn emergency response skill by some of the staff from CRMC!
Eighth grade spent two days learning how to "Stop the Bleed." Students learned how to pack a wound, use a tourniquet, and evaluate a situation to keep them safe as well.
Seventh graders learned the safety procedure of finding someone collapsed, as well as starting hands on only CPR.











Congratulations, Trynity Harvet, for being our 2nd Book Blast Treasure Chest winner! Way to go! There is still time to win a Treasure Chest by inviting 10+ family members or friends.
