Lena Schmidt has been named the first-place WECA Essay Scholarship winner, earning a $1,000 scholarship for her thoughtful, insightful essay connecting cooperative values to real life. Her essay is a great reflection of the kind of person she is: a curious learner, a responsible citizen, and a caring community member. These qualities will take her far! Indeed, they already have. Way to go, Lena!

Volunteers Needed for North Crawford Seniors

This spring, our seniors will take part in the 2026 Reality Check—a hands-on financial literacy event hosted at Prairie du Chien High School. Students will experience the real costs of adulthood, including housing, transportation, insurance, and unexpected expenses.

We need community volunteers to staff booths and guide students through the simulation. No special expertise is required—training and materials are provided. Even a half-day shift makes a meaningful impact.

Event: Wednesday, March 11, 2026 (snow date: March 18)
Shifts: All-day 8:00–2:45, AM 8:00–11:30, PM 11:15–2:45
Location: Prairie du Chien High School

If you’re interested in volunteering, contact Rob Sailer at rsailer@ncrawford.k12.wi.us
or call the high school office.

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!

New Mental Health Resource for Youth & Families

Students

The senior FFA members made the best of their Chicago trip—despite train cancellations, a bus ride to Milwaukee, and snowy, cold weather! ❄️🚆🚌 We navigated multiple forms of public transportation, explored the Museum of Science and Industry, Shedd Aquarium, and Willis Tower, and of course enjoyed some classic Chicago pizza 🍕. We were also fortunate to share this experience with six other local FFA chapters. What a memorable trip!

Come out and support our JV/Varsity Boys Basketball teams as they travel to Ithaca tomorrow, and support a great drive that is being sponsored by Ithaca Schools.

#TrojanPride

Mrs. Seiser's kindergartners wrapped up their CKLA farms unit with a delicious activity — making and eating homemade bread and butter. It was a fun, memorable way to celebrate all they learned about farms, crops, and where our food comes from.

Reminder there is no school Friday as it is a scheduled Staff Development day. Due to the dangerous temperatures, all after school activities are cancelled for Friday. Stay safe.

Second Harvest Food Distribution – January 28

Happy New Year. Second Harvest food distribution is returning to our community.

Wednesday, January 28, 2026
Location: 212 Main Street
Car loading begins at 2:00 PM

There is no charge for this food distribution, and everyone is welcome regardless of income or family size.

When you arrive, please be prepared to share how many families you are picking up food for and how many people are in each family. Last month, this distribution served approximately 300 households.

Food items are typically packed in boxes. Please make sure you have enough room in your trunk or the back of your vehicle so loading can happen efficiently for our volunteers.

If this is your first time receiving food through this distribution, Harry will be outside to help direct you where to line up. You will be given a menu of available items. If there is anything you do not want, please let the loaders know.

We would like to extend a sincere thank you to JoAnn Gonos for her excellent leadership. JoAnn is stepping down and has passed the reins to Larry.

If you have any questions, please contact Larry McCarn at 608-485-1772.

Thank you to Second Harvest and our volunteers for their continued support of our community.
