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!

Kindergarten students at CRES met with some of our local Veterans and got to hear stories and learn about the importance of Veteran’s Day. All CRES students lined the side walked and thanked our Veteran’s for their service!

Our 5th graders had a glowing good time last week! 💚💜

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. ✨📸🌎

🎃 It wasn’t just the students having fun this Halloween — our CRES staff got in on the action too! 👻

From creative costumes to festive classroom decorations, everyone embraced the Halloween spirit and brought lots of smiles and laughter to the halls. 🧡🖤

They walked around the bus loop, spreading smiles and Halloween cheer as the rest of the classes cheered them on also wearing their costumes. What a fun tradition for our youngest Rangers! 🧡🖤

Honoring Our Veterans

Today, we pause to honor and thank all who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Your courage, dedication, and sacrifice protect the freedoms we cherish each day.

We are especially grateful for the veterans within our school community—students, staff, and families—who have answered the call to serve. Thank you for your service and commitment to our country. ❤️🤍💙

📚 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!
