Thank you to CLEF for awarding SALT funds for leadership training! On October 30th, SALT, NHS, and Student Council members got to participate in a leadership training from Character Challenge. The training focused on what characteristics make a leader and how to consistently show those characteristics through one's actions.
The student leaders then got to take an active role in the 5th grade assembly, showing students the importance of trust and kindness. It was an amazing day!
Sixth grade visited Long Lake Conservation Center on October 31. Students got to experience walking on a bog, starting fires, holding snakes, participating in group challenge courses, and learning all about nature!
Students in the manufacturing program recently toured TNT Industries, Graphic Packaging, Clow Stamping, and Magnum Machining. They were able to see many different parts of the manufacturing process including sheet metal forming, welding, robotics, machining, and engineering. Thank you to all of these fantastic companies for welcoming in our students!
Project Unite and C-I Environmental Club are teaming up and need your help! They are collecting new or gently worn tennis/athletic shoes as a fundraiser. There is a collection box in the HS and CRES entryways. The more sneakers collected, the more dollars are earned for Project Unite to use towards communication, staff support, school pride and volunteering. The shoes collected stay out of the landfills and given to those in need. For more information visit www.gotsneakers.com or contact Khachey@gmail.com.
Together we can make a difference! #gocigo #rangernation

Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote in the referendum. While the Crosby-Ironton referendum did not pass, we remain dedicated to providing the best education possible for our students. Our financial challenges remain. We will work hard in the months ahead to determine a path forward to address our budget deficit and financial instability. *These are unofficial results.

Los estudiantes de español learned about an important Mexican holiday called DÍa de muertos. Students colored sugar skulls, wrote poems about their loved ones who have died, and decorated masks. We were too busy to take any pictures of our time today, but here’s what el aula de español looks like! Click on the link to learn more about this alternative view of death.
Friendly reminder...don't forget to set your clocks back!
