Attention Camp Invention Campers,
Due to the disruptions and challenges of COVID-19, we will not be hosting Camp Invention this summer. You will be receiving an email from Camp Invention Headquarters. This will provide details regarding offering all campers a virtual experience with Camp Invention Connect. If you choose to take part in Camp Invention Connect, they will send you a "boxed" camp to your home with all of the materials. Then your child can access digital resources to go through the camp activities. However, you also have the option to cancel everything and get a complete refund. If you would like to receive a refund, please call 800-968-4332. Please contact Allison Larsen at alarsen@ci.k12.mn.us with any additional questions. Thank you!

Crosby-Ironton's Student Action Leadership Team (SALT) would like to challenge our school district to clean up the community! During this time of quarantine, it is important for your health to stay active, so on a nice day, we encourage you to clean up an area of the community that needs your help. Keep in mind, we want everyone to stay safe, so please make sure to follow the rules of social distancing; this is not a gathering nor are we asking you to travel, but it is something you can do individually or as a family.
When you clean up an area, I ask that you send a ten second clip to save.ci.community@gmail.com , as the clips will be compiled into a video of everyone who participates towards cleaning up the Crosby-Ironton community. Please send in videos by May 26.
Please take a moment out of your day to give a little back to your community and planet. This is a great opportunity to get outside and have something to do. Thank you to anyone who participated in our area!
Our 3rd grade teachers, miss their students VERY much! So, they have sent out a special mailer, of themselves, to each of their students.
