Learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door—sometimes it shines a little brighter in the night sky. ✨📸🌎

📚 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!
