✨ Celebrating School Board Appreciation Month! 🌟
Thank you to our dedicated school board members for their tireless efforts in shaping the future of education. Your commitment to students, teachers, and the community is truly commendable. #SchoolBoardAppreciation #EducationMatters #Gratitude

Monday, January 8 starts our Snodaze Dress-up Week for both CRES and high school students and staff!



C-I S.A.L.T. (service action leadership team) members prepared around 60 meals for Lakes Area community members at the Sharing Bread Soup Kitchen in Brainerd on December 19th. Students prepared a cheesy chicken rice casserole, broccoli, sweetened carrots, bread rolls, cupcakes, and beverages. SALT students were delighted to be able to serve their guests a delicious meal!


We had many community members and parents join the 10th graders as they embarked on a journey to remember, reflect, and educate. Our students have poured their hearts into this meaningful project, aiming to honor the resilience of those who endured unimaginable hardships during one of history's darkest chapters, The Holocaust.
🌟 Highlights:
**Thought-provoking Displays: Dive into the individual exhibits that capture the stories and experiences of Holocaust survivors and non-survivors.
** Student Artwork: Witness the creativity of our talented 10th graders as they express their emotions and reflections through art.
Thank you for coming together as a community to remember, learn, and ensure that the lessons from the Holocaust are never forgotten. Your presence makes a difference! 🌍🤝 #HolocaustExhibit #EducationMatters #NeverForget










Mrs. Thoennes' 10th graders have been busy working on their Holocaust exhibit. Please come to the Woock gym Thursday(tomorrow), January 4, between 1-2:30p.m. to see their hard work on display.






Mrs. Pecha's Econ students learned about taxes! They even went through a simulation where they filled out Form 1040 (filing federal income taxes).



On December 15th, a small group of Human Biology students attended a Health Career Fair hosted by Essential Health at St. Joseph Hospital in Brainerd. They were able to participate in hands-on activities while talking to a variety of professionals in the Health Career Field. They were given a tour of the Emergency Department and the Cardiology floor, as well as having their lunch provided. Each student agreed that they learned a lot, enjoyed the experience, and connected with a wide range of healthcare providers. This is a wonderful example of an experiential learning opportunity for our Health and Human Services Ranger Career Pathway.

One of Mrs. Holmvig's students had a visitor last week...Mr. Becker stopped in and sang Happy Birthday to her! 🎈🎂🎶


Needs some ideas of what to do over break? Take a peek at our list!


Last week was a busy one in Geography! 8th graders have been learning about European Culture. They specifically enjoyed hearing about “Tea Time” that Miss McDonald experienced during her time abroad. So to bring a piece of the British Isle's to C-I, they enjoyed a morning tea break during class. Students had the opportunity to try tea and cookies that would typically be found during a morning tea break in Ireland and the U.K.









Brayan Quintana and Jhon Marchan, Custodians at Crosby-Ironton High School, visited Molly McDonald's 8th-grade Geography classes to share about life in Venezuela. Students enjoyed Venezuelan desserts and candy, including Dulce de Lechosa (Candied Papaya) and Quesillo. The students thought the cinnamon-clove spiced Dulce de Lechosa tasted like "Christmas!"
