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.

❄Winter Break starts Friday, December 22 and goes through January 1, 2024. Classes will be back in session Tuesday, January 2.❄

What was your favorite class in high school?

Four Lego League robotics teams competed in a First Lego League tournament in Hermantown on Saturday. Two teams came home with awards! The Growing Data Way team won the Robot Design Award. The //(Swoomp)=[1] team won the Rising All Star Award. All teams did a great job at the tournament! Lego League is an after school program that is offered each fall for students in 4th-8th grade through Community Education.

We are so thankful and grateful to our amazing staff! 18 staff members gathered at The Outreach Program of Brainerd Lakes and prepared over 8,000 meals in just two nights. These meals are coming back to our district and being distributed to students and families with food insecurities, especially over the holiday break.
A big shout-out to the Crosby Fire Department for being the financial sponsor! This couldn't have happened without you.
We are hoping to make this a yearly happening and look forward to adding more staff each year! #grateful #thankful #gocigo
