Kindergarten Highlight

In Autumn

By Winifred Marshall

Presented by the kindergarten class

They’re coming down in showers

The leaves all gold and red

They’re covering the little flowers

And tucking them in bed

They’ve spread a fairy carpet

All up and down the street

And when we skip along to school,

They rustle neath our feet

Lower School

(kindergarten - fifth grade)

Fourth graders shined on stage in the Oak Tree Quad as they performed the first musical of the school year, School House Rocks!

Their voices were booming and their confidence was inspiring.

Bravo, Fourthies!

Upper School

(sixth - eighth grade)

Ready. Set. Bake! It's "The Great Crane Bake-Off" - an English and math class collaboration spotlighting the book, The Outsiders. Seventh graders baked chocolate cakes to honor Ponyboy, the lead character from the book. But the baking came WITH A TWIST! Students were placed in groups, and each group was given a challenge that forced them to alter the recipe. The only way to make the appropriate changes was to use MATH!

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.

This is a glimpse of one of the many reasons we love being a kindergarten - eighth grade school on one shared campus: These first and eighth grade students find each other at recess and bond over a Rubik's Cube.
