🌟 Introducing the Care Closet!

We’re excited to offer the Care Closet, a free program designed to support students and families with essential items. The Care Closet provides:

Hygiene products (soap, toothpaste, shampoo, etc.)
Clothes and shoes
Feminine products
Other basic necessities

Students can even be set up to come into the Care Closet and pick out the items they need themselves, helping them get exactly what will help them feel comfortable and confident.

If you’d like us to send items home with your student, or have questions about the program, please contact me at mweber@ccr2.org or 573-677-2528, and we’ll be happy to help!

🥪🍎 Friday Food Bag Program 🍎🥪

The Crawford County R-II School District offers a Friday Food Bag Program to help make sure students have access to kid-friendly, nutritious food over the weekend. Each bag is sent home with your child on Fridays (or the last day of the school week).

This program is completely confidential and available to any student whose family would like to participate.

If you’d like to sign your child up, please contact Melanie Weber, LMSW – School-Based Social Worker at mweber@ccr2.org or 573-677-2528.

No child should go hungry — let us help take care of the weekends.

We are proud to introduce our newest School Resource Officer (SRO) and D.A.R.E. Officer for the 2025-2026 school year! SRO Sgt. Kevin Ziegler has just completed a two week course of training to become a D.A.R.E. Instructor. Your dedication to building strong relationships with students, staff, and families, while promoting safety and positive decision-making, will make a lasting impact on our school community. Please join us in giving a warm welcome and congratulations to SRO Sgt. Kevin Ziegler!

Save the date! CES Block Party is Thursday, September 25th from 5:00-7:00pm. At Crawford County R-ll School District, we receive Title I funding to enhance educational opportunities for eligible students. This funding allows us to provide additional resources, support services, and targeted interventions to help students reach their full potential. Our upcoming Block Party is one of the many Title family events we hold each year. This event is a great opportunity for students and their families to come out and interact with both staff and peers, through hands-on learning experiences. We will also have food, games, door prizes, and more Title ! information for those interested. Your participation and feedback are essential to our success in providing a high-quality education for all students in our district. We hope to see you there!
