This week we celebrate National School Counseling Week. We have two of the very best with Mr. Moderski and Mrs. Colsch, supported by Newton. North Crawford school counselors play a vital role in supporting students’ academic success, social-emotional well-being, and future planning. They help students navigate challenges, build coping and interpersonal skills, and make informed decisions about their education and careers. By partnering with families and staff, Mr. Moderski and Mrs. Colsch create a safe, supportive environment where all North Crawford students can thrive. #TrojanPride

When the people who teach here also choose to raise their families here, it says a lot about the care, learning, and community we build every day. 💛

Multiplication practice just got competitive! In Capture the Square, third graders use their multiplication facts to capture squares on the board. Building strong fact fluency in 3rd grade helps students become quicker, more confident problem solvers—and games like this make practice fun!
Daylen Jones helped the North Crawford Physical Education department fix a spike ball net that was doomed for the garbage but he had an idea. His idea was to ask Mr. Keenlance in the Tech Ed department to use his equipment to fix the plastic ring around the outside and they brought it back to us better than ever. It is much appreciated. He saved a whole entire piece of equipment that was worth quite a bit of money and it was all his idea. Students like this are refreshing and much appreciated. Thank you Daylen !!

Students may send a Blow Pop to a friend, teacher, or other staff member to let them know they are appreciated.
Cost: $1 per Blow Pop
Forms and money due: Wednesday, February 11
All proceeds help support the NC Cheerleaders with the purchase of new uniforms
Thank you for supporting our students and helping share some Valentine’s Day cheer.
Hands-on math fun in 3rd grade! Our students used Play-Doh to partition shapes into halves, thirds, fourths, sixths, and eighths while exploring fractions in a fun, tactile way. If you have a 3rd grader at home, ask them what the word "partition" means and see what they remember! Learning is even better when we can squish it, shape it, and share it!
ATTENTION: Due to a lack of player depth for Weston, the BBB games at North Crawford on Tuesday have been postponed.

Middle School students held their 2nd quarter awards and recognition today. Students were recognized for co-curricular participation, Honor Roll, and Students of the Month for November and December. Congrats to all students recognized for your accomplishments 2nd quarter. #TrojanPride
One thing we love in fifth grade is participation. Students in fifth grade have been working hard to show their thinking in math and have healthy agreements and disagreements with their peers work. They’ve also been all in on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Having a safe space to share ideas and talk about our work is a vulnerable thing, and we value that safe space here at North Crawford. Go fifth graders! :)
We’re almost done with January and February has a lot to look forward to!
We’ll kick things off by celebrating February birthdays on February 6th for everyone enjoying school lunch. On February 13th, a special Valentine’s lunch is on the menu. And the highlight of the month? We’ll be celebrating Chinese Lunar New Year on February 17th with a fun, festive meal you won’t want to miss!
Use the link below to check out all of our February menus, and scroll through a few photos to see what we were cooking up in January.

A Great Day for Reading at North Crawford!
Today, our 8th grade ELA students received 29 brand-new novels thanks to a generous book donation delivered by CESA 3.
This donation was made possible through support from the Crawford County Community Fund, and the books will be a fantastic addition to our classroom library. The new novels offer a wide variety of topics and genres, creating more opportunities for independent reading and helping students find books that truly interest them.
Students were excited to see the new titles arrive and were quick to start claiming which books they wanted to read first. Experiences like this help build a strong reading culture and reinforce our commitment to student engagement and learning.
Thank you to our community partners for supporting literacy and helping make North Crawford a great place to learn!
