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! 🎈🎂🎶
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.
Needs some ideas of what to do over break? Take a peek at our list!
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!"

Yesterday students were in Holiday Cheer mode! White-Out at CRES and Ugly Sweater day at the high school.
3rd graders presented what they have been learning in Music, Physical Education, and Technology and Innovation class at their STEAM Expo. The theme of the expo was Moving Pictures. This theme was chosen based on what the students are reading, at the time from their reading curriculum. The Music performance included students singing, playing instruments, and bucket drumming with glow in the dark drumsticks! During the Physical Education portion, students showed off the basketball skills they have been working on during a glow in the dark basketball show! Lastly, for the Technology & Innovation portion, students demonstrated their digital media production skills as they made stop motion videos with their families.
It was White-Out Wednesday at CRES and Holiday Spirit at the high school yesterday! #holidaydressup #gocigo
Santa's helper (Mrs. Otterstad) 🎅 and the elves (Culinary students) have been extremely busy in the workshop. Thank you for all your hard work on these beautiful cookies.🎄
Growing up, what was your favorite holiday tradition?
Ms. Kate's class spent time last week learning about The Outreach Program. Students checked out their website and talked about why the program is so helpful. They took to the classroom assembly line to make food bags out of all of the meal packs that were put together at The Outreach Program by C-I Staff. These food bags will go out to kids and families right here in ISD 182!
To bring it full-circle; Ms. Kate's class made a bag of the Mac & Cheese meal to try it out and it scored a 10/10! Many hands make light work and boundless blessings!
Students were certainly in the holiday spirit at CRES, while students at the high school were comfy in their holiday pj's!
Santa and Mrs. Claus made the trek to visit our preschoolers last Friday! Thank you to PTO for inviting them.
