The FINAL SUMMARY (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eOZ2xFTwTyZYs5awPt5E5SqaseDSk-XA3hgqzomRrec/edit?tab=t.0) of the Crosby-Ironton School District strategic planning information and survey results can be found by clicking on the blue link below.

Additionally, I would recommend watching the attached 2 minute video (item #1 below) that explains how to navigate the document. The next couple months, your school board will carefully, thoughtfully, & systematically walk through all of the input, guidance and recommendations. They will have great dialogue. You are welcome to attend work sessions (2nd Monday at 6PM) and board meetings (4th Monday at 6:30PM) to listen in. Also, don't forget board meetings are live streamed and recorded to view later as well on our YouTube Channel.

Last week, March 25-27, 6th graders had the opportunity to participate in a three day-two night trip to Long Lake Conservation Center in Palisade! They got to walk in a bog, hold snakes, compete in a compass orienteering race, enjoy a campfire and s’mores, make their own wilderness meal, build a survival shelter, and so much more!

Thank you to all of the chaperones and all the support from the local businesses and organizations who continue to make this a yearly tradition!

Great exposure to hands-on career pathways and future possibilities in the trades! 👏
