5th graders work hard and play hard:) In math they worked through some matching activities to strengthen logical connections between word problems and the numbers that represent them. In CKLA they have been using creativity to craft incredible poems. Today they got to combine their logical and creative skills to explore some of the technology that surrounds us every day. We are thankful for all of our amazing volunteers, and the magic they brought to our classroom. One student was even overheard saying, “This is the best day of my life”. What a great reminder to have fun, and love the journey.

North Crawford Band Students Experience Special Visit from Dr. Justin Weis
On Tuesday morning, North Crawford band students had the incredible opportunity to learn from and be inspired by Dr. Justin Weis, a nationally recognized trombonist, educator, and performing artist. Dr. Weis visited our school from 10:30–11:30 AM in the Performance Center, where he performed for students, shared insights from his musical career, and offered guidance on musicianship and practice.
A group of our students had already met Dr. Weis the day before at the Conference Honors Band, making today’s visit an even more meaningful extension of that experience. His passion for music, combined with his expertise as both a performer and teacher, provided students with a firsthand look at what dedication, discipline, and creativity can lead to in the world of music.
This type of real-world learning is an outstanding opportunity for our young musicians—allowing them to see, hear, and interact with a professional artist at a very high level. We are grateful to Mr. Derrik Junker, our Instrumental Music Teacher, for organizing this experience and continuing to bring enriching opportunities to our music program.

SECOND HARVEST IS COMING!
Coming just in time to add goodies to your Thanksgiving table, Second Harvest Mobile Food
Pantry will be in beautiful downtown Gays Mills on Wednesday, November 26th, the day before
the great turkey appears! We have so many blessings to count in our community, not the least
of which is benefiting from the generosity of organizations like Second Harvest and other local
groups which share the wish that no one goes hungry. No telling what will be in the offerings
this month, but probably some produce, dairy, meat, eggs and bread. Come to 212 Main Street
and please try to get there no earlier than 1:30, as we will begin at 2:00 and continue until
3:00. Look for Harry to direct you, proceed to the greeter and tell them the number of
households you’re picking up for, and the number of people in each of those households. Also,
if there is any item on the selection list you do NOT want, please tell the greeter. Although we
will be without our usual, awesome North Crawford kids, due to their holiday break, we will
have fantastic volunteers to push carts to your car, load bags and boxes in the trunk, and send
you on your way with a gobble and a smile.
And as always, at the Gays Mills distribution site, we are grateful for the generosity and great
food selection brought to us by Second Harvest. Once again, in October we gave out food for
300 households.
With questions, please call JoAnn Gonos (608)-872-2583.

Check it out!! North Crawford students earned a Bronze Level through SWTC for our district's participation in the Dual Enrollment program. Last year, 29 of our high school students earned a total of 65 college credits by taking classes through the Start College Now, CollEdge Up, and Transcripted Credit programs through Southwest Tech. These programs saved our NC families nearly $11,000 in tuition costs. More importantly, these courses provided our students with a kickstart on their college and future career journeys. Great things are happening at North Crawford!! #TrojanPride
Tomorrow’s breakfast features something new and special — our baked-from-scratch donuts! We’ve been hard at work perfecting a healthier recipe as an occasional treat for our students. Donut testing may be serious work, but someone had to do it.
We’ve added a healthier twist to make them compliant with our reduced sugar guidelines. They’ll be served alongside cheese omelets and ham & cheese omelets for a protein-packed start to the day.
