Happy Thanksgiving, Ranger Nation! 🦃🧡

Today we’re especially grateful for our students, families, staff, and community who support our schools in so many ways all year long. Your encouragement, partnership, and care make CI a special place to learn and grow.

We hope you enjoy a safe, relaxing day filled with good food, laughter, and time with the people you love.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at CI Schools! 🍂🧡📚

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! 🖊️✨

Take a peek at our Artists of the Week!

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!

Several students and their families were able to get outside and capture photos of the incredible aurora borealis lighting up our Minnesota sky. 🌌

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