To wrap up "Read Across America" week last week, author Kristin Rohloff (Pen Name El Holly) talked with students at CRES about her "Phantasmic Wars" series of books. Kristin spoke to students about the writing process, and even held a writers workshop where students had to create a character, a setting, and a plot. She also donated a copy of each book in the series (5 books) for the CRES Media Center.

Thanks for visiting Kristin!

SHANANABOOM! 7th Grade students had the opportunity to have a night of fun at the high school. At this event, students viewed Honey, I Shrunk the Kids....with a twist. While watching the film different challenges occurred according to the scene. Students tried balancing camping gear, hunted the building for miniature couches, enjoyed some oatmeal cream pies, and challenged each other to lawn mower races.

It was quite a night to wrap-up this year's Link Crew and we are so excited to see what is in store for next year!!!

📆Reminder📆

The community strategic planning session starts at 3:30 today in the high school forum room! We look forward to seeing and hearing from you.

On behalf of Mrs. Syrstad's Children's Literature students, thank you for funding their end-of semester book project, CLEF!

Due to the predicted weather forecast in both our area and the metro, Special Olympics MN has decided to postpone our Cool School Plunge that was scheduled for tomorrow, 3/16..

Mr. Syrstad is working closely with Special Olympics MN to find a new date in April.

The benefit of this situation is that we now have extra time to raise funds for our program. If you are interested, please use this link to register and/or donate to this important cause: https://www.plungemn.org/events/crosby-ironton-high-school-cool-school/#down
