Lower School

(kindergarten - fifth grade)

Fifth graders shared their trip to Joshua Tree National Park by each writing a poem about their experience and turning their writings into a collaborative class poem entitled The Desert was our Canvas that they recited during Assembly. What a beautiful way to reflect upon and celebrate an impactful few days and a breath-taking location.

Upper School

(sixth - eighth grade)

In the Graffiti Art elective, students have been exploring concepts of identity, individual and group expression, representation, and cultural influence. They discuss a specific style, group, or geographical region, sketch ideas, and then dive into their own pieces using tools such as spray paint, paint pens, and their own stencils made in the Design & Engineering Center. Their blank canvas might be an old table, a repurposed chair, or a cardboard box!

Crane Values in Action

Personal integrity isn’t about doing the right thing because we have to. It’s about doing the right thing because we want to model the way for others. We equally value character development alongside academic development because we know who our students are is as important as what they know.

Eighth graders have been helping out with the Lower School Arts & Crafts Enrichment Class after school. Sharing their time and lending a hand is a great way to model kindness within our school community.
