Crosby-Ironton School District

Each month, Miranda, a Dietician from CRMC, visits our kindergarteners to teach them all about healthy eating and simple, fun cooking activities they can try at home! 🥕🍎 The students love learning how food helps their bodies grow and stay strong—plus it’s always a tasty, hands-on experience.

Our third graders put their teamwork skills to the test by building a Christmas tree out of cups! 🎄 Using only string and a rubber band, students worked together to problem-solve, communicate, and support one another. Great collaboration and teamwork all around!

Mrs. Otterstad’s Baking & Pastry class has been busy learning about challah bread! 🍞

Challah is a traditional Jewish bread, most often enjoyed on the Sabbath and holidays. It’s known for its soft, slightly sweet texture and beautiful braided shape, which symbolizes unity and togetherness. Students mixed, braided, and baked their own loaves while learning about the cultural significance behind this special bread.

Great job to our bakers for combining culinary skills with cultural learning!

Students in Mrs. Syrstad's Children’s Lit class took lesser-known Brothers Grimm fairytales and rewrote them to be appropriate for an audience of children. Students had to justify their changes and explain how their changes are more developmentally appropriate for a younger audience.
Students then presented them to the class.

The second page to the rewrite about a prince who had been sheltered his whole life

3rd page about the prince's adventure and meeting a giant

4th page of the rewrite in which the Giant was going to threaten the prince but the prince turned it around and threatened the giant

The story doesn't end here but this is how the prince's ring spoke to him and found the princess

Title page of a rewrite called the Girl and the Wizard by Rachel, Isabelle, Jordan and Oliviah

page two of the rewrite about an old man and his family who lived in the woods and didn't have any money. Suddenly a wizard appreared and said he can help him

page 3 of rewrite in which years went by and the wizard came back to claim the old man's daughter and the old man says no you can't have her and the wizard wants her hair instead for a beard so he cut it

The old man and the daughter stood there for a while in shock. He told her to leave so the wizard couldn't hurt her anymore. He gave her a compass and sent her on her way

The daughter run until the sun went down and found herself in a garden with an apple tree. She ate til she was full, and slept against the apple tree. Early in the morning a King from the castle found the girl under the tree. THis is the end of the story but a quick synopsis of the 5 pages here.

🍰Our culinary students have been busy baking up something amazing! 🍰This week, two kitchen groups took on a full scratch-cake challenge — from researching recipes to costing ingredients to creating every layer by hand.

👩‍🍳 Kitchen 1:
Olivia Essman, Taya Hiltbrunner, and Grey Colwell
✨ Made a strawberry cake

👨‍🍳 Kitchen 2:
Zachary Hoyt, Justin Reisz, Jayda Neumann, Avah Stroschein, and Jayda Windorski
✨ Made a butter pecan cake

Students crafted their cakes, fillings, frostings, and coatings completely from scratch — and the results looked incredible! Great job to both teams for their hard work and creativity! 🎉👏
