Thankful for a Generous Community 🍂🦃
As we embrace the spirit of Thanksgiving, I want to extend heartfelt gratitude to the Gays Mills Lions Club for their incredible generosity in paying off school meal debt. With so many families struggling during this season, your kindness has lifted a significant burden and made a true difference in our community.
A special thanks to our new friend Amber Parish for her dedication in working with the Lions Club and our community to make this remarkable act of kindness a reality.
I also want to take this opportunity to thank our parents, community members, board of education, and our Ag students for their support and contributions. Our Ag students deserve a special shoutout for growing lettuce for our garden bar—your hard work helps us provide fresh, nutritious meals for our kids every day.
Together, we are nourishing not only our children but also the bonds that make our community thrive. Thank you all for making this journey so rewarding.
Warm wishes this Thanksgiving,
Jen Kapinus
Director of Food Services

🎉 Building Futures, Exploring Pathways! 🔍✨
This month, our students had incredible opportunities to learn firsthand about career options as part of our ACP (Academic and Career Planning) goals!
💂♂️ We welcomed a member of the U.S. Marines, who shared insights about military careers and the skills they develop.
💡 Students also heard from a representative of Local 14 Electrical Union, who highlighted the benefits of apprenticeship programs, hands-on training, and how these opportunities can lead to rewarding careers in the trades.
These sessions were eye-opening and inspiring, giving our students a glimpse into the many pathways available to them after high school. We’re grateful to these professionals for taking the time to invest in our students’ futures!

Celebrating Success at North Crawford Middle School!
Last week, we honored our incredible students at the quarterly rewards assembly. Our RISE Students of the Month, exemplary students on the Honor Roll, and those who achieved new milestones in ELA reading were all celebrated for their hard work and dedication.
We also recognized students' achievements in fall activities and sports, showcasing the well-rounded talents of our community. From academics to athletics, our students continue to set the bar high.
A huge thank you to our amazing teachers, staff, and families for supporting our students every step of the way. Let’s keep up the fantastic work, Trojans!

Our students recently experienced the wonders of static electricity through engaging, hands-on experiments! Using just balloons and everyday materials, they learned how electric charges work and had fun making their hair stand on end and moving small objects with the power of static! This activity was a fantastic way to bring science to life and inspire curiosity.
At North Crawford, we’re all about sparking interest through hands-on learning, and this was a great example of that!
