Our district is full of champions—both inside and outside the classroom! 🏆✨
A massive congratulations to Matt Lorenz, a 7th-grade teacher at McKinley STEAM Academy, for winning the marathon! Matt crossed the finish line of the 26.2-mile course with an incredible time of 2:30:55. 🏃♂️💨
We also want to celebrate and cheer for Wilson Middle School’s Mrs. Mac and Mr. Goetzinger, and Truman Early Learning’s Monica Frey, who also ran an amazing race!
Thank you all for being such fantastic role models of determination and health for our students. Our entire district community is incredibly proud of you! ❤️🎉

We are so proud to celebrate Anna Weddle at Viola Gibson Elementary!
Creating a classroom where every child feels they belong is no small feat, but Ms. Weddle makes it look easy. From handling conflicts with thoughtful communication to sending home kind postcards that celebrate her students’ unique strengths, Anna goes the extra mile to stay in tune with her class.
As one parent shared: "My daughter loves going to school every day because she feels safe, valued, and that she belongs."
Thank you, Anna, for your honesty, your care, and for being such a trustworthy partner to our families!

Making a Difference, One Student at a Time 🧡
We love receiving notes like this from our CRCSD families! Today, we are celebrating Shannon McShane at Grant Elementary for the incredible way she supports her students.
From providing words of encouragement on the "hard days" to helping her students build lasting confidence through praise and accountability, Ms. McShane truly goes above and beyond. As one family put it: "We are so blessed to have you… we hope you know what a difference you make and what an awesome human you are!"
Thank you, Shannon, for your heart, your love, and your dedication to our learners!
