We celebrate National Principals Month with a look at one of our high school administrators, Michael Hawley.
Mr. Hawley has been principal of Jefferson High School since the beginning of the 2019-2020 school year.
What is his favorite part of being a J-Hawk?
"I love to get out and talk to our kids…the students are the best part of our schools."
Thank you and all of our administrators for the essential work you put in each day to make a school a wonderful place.

So thankful to have the opportunity to work with you Mike!!!
He patiently responds to my every email ❤️
He is a great guy.
A pleasure meeting you at the Freshman volleyball game Monday night.
Let us BOOST your home lunch, with a free ‘booster meal’. If you prefer to bring your meal from home, we can provide a BOOST to your home lunch at no charge to you. Take 3 and it’s free.
#WeAreCRCSD
I love this too! However, it would be nice if the menus actually matched what they are served. My kiddos pick their lunch entree and then ends up to be totally different, almost daily. This causes pressure and unwanted stress for kiddos all around. Yes, we all can bring our own "entree's?!", If we have the financial means to do it. Boosters are an amazing idea,just make sure they are kid friendly.
Way to go Food and Nutrition for always finding innovative ways to make sure our kids have full bellies and are ready to learn! Y’all rock and I’m thankful for every last employee.
I like this for the kiddos that want/need it. There have been a couple times my kid wanted milk from school for lunch and got these but it was wasted they didn't give him the choice for just milk. Like it but also a huge waste if that's how all schools are doing it. Let the kid decide!!!
Awesome! Do the kids have to ask for a booster meal?
Can the kids eating school lunch get booster too?
Great idea!
That is awesome!

Cedar River Academy at Taylor Elementary students received a lesson on planting and caring for trees last week from the Girl Scouts.
The academy planted six trees to make up for those lost in the 2020 derecho. Girl Scout leaders demonstrated how to plant the trees, and students got their hands dirty participating.
Thank you to Clark McLeod and the Monarch Research Project for your donation of three trees.

CRCSD Kindergarten students are studying the Monarch Butterfly. Over the past several weeks, students have watched the metamorphosis to the chrysalis and finally a butterfly. In late August, classrooms received eggs, milkweed, and a cage.
This week, the kindergartners waved goodbye to their projects as around 300 mature butterflies were released and flew off.
Thank you to Iowa State University and the Monarch Research Project for assistance in this project.

When are the three diamonds to west willow that the current building took
“Why would the school keep doing this? So I decided to follow the money.” “You put us in a corner, and you are getting paid to mask our children!” “Who got the money and what did you do with it?” “Why would this school keep doing this? Completely against the Nuremberg code?” “You are violating the US Constitution of the United States!” “I'd rather see this school in ashes than to see you sit there with your pockets full while you suffocate our children with diapers on their faces!” “We the people have had enough!”
