As we head into the last few weeks before winter break, our school-wide theme at CRES is Kindness. 💛

From now until break, we’ll be encouraging students to:

•Practice small acts of kindness
•Show gratitude
•Look for ways to support one another in classrooms and around the building

Be sure to check out our KIND poster hanging at the CRES entrance! Pictured as the “I” in KIND are high school Principal Fischer, Superintendent Aulie and CRES student Finley—a fun reminder that kindness starts with all of us. 💫

Let’s finish 2025 with a whole lot of KIND! 🫶

Take a listen in to Superintendent Aulie's podcast with Athletic Director, Cley Twigg, as he talks about C-I's winter sports and activities.

There’s a new place for writers to create and connect! ✍️📚

Our writing group meets in Mrs. Syrstad’s Room (208) every Monday from 3:15–3:45 p.m. and all are welcome to join.

This week, nine students explored poetry and then workshopped their own writing. Some are even working on books, movie scripts, and poetry collections.

If you love to write—or just want to try—come check it out! 🖊️✨

Students in Ms. Larson’s English 8 classes put their grammar skills to work by creating their own restaurant menus! 🍽️📚

To show their understanding of the parts of speech, students designed menus filled with creative restaurant themes, fun dish names, and delicious-sounding food options. From layout to language, they found a tasty way to make learning English both engaging and memorable! 💬✨

Kris Hasskamp and her brother-in-law Sam created the Anne Hasskamp-Sambar Memorial Fund to sponsor an entire year of C-I's Link Crew program, along with creating a $1000 scholarship for a senior Link Leader. Kris recalled how difficult Anne's transition to high school was when she became a seventh grader and is sponsoring the program in Anne's honor, stating “to put our money into something that influences every seventh grader and probably even the leaders that are a part of helping them has a larger impact. It's far bigger and a ripple effect that is going to branch out to create different types of students graduating in the future."

Thank you, Kris and Sam, for your sponsorship of Link Crew and for creating this opportunity for one of our seniors at C-I!
