We are so grateful for the caring spirit of our community! 💙 #RangerPride #CoatsForKids

🎃 Our kindergartners had a blast showing off their costumes in the annual Kindergarten Costume Parade! 👻✨
They walked around the bus loop, spreading smiles and Halloween cheer as the rest of the classes cheered them on also wearing their costumes. What a fun tradition for our youngest Rangers! 🧡🖤

Honoring Our Veterans

Today, we pause to honor and thank all who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Your courage, dedication, and sacrifice protect the freedoms we cherish each day.

We are especially grateful for the veterans within our school community—students, staff, and families—who have answered the call to serve. Thank you for your service and commitment to our country. ❤️🤍💙

Reminder, to please join us for our Veteran's Day program starting at 2:15 in the Galovich Gym today.

📚 Fall Into Reading at CRES was a huge success! 🍂

Elementary students and their families enjoyed an interactive evening designed to spark excitement for reading while exploring Cuyuna Range history — including the Man High Project, Scorpion Snowmobiles, the mining industry, and the Milford Mine tragedy.

Students picked out a free book to take home, families learned about CRES programs like WIN (What I Need) that provide individualized instruction, and everyone left with grade-level reading games to keep the learning going! 💙

We love seeing our Rangers and their families come together to celebrate reading and community!
