This year at CRE, we have established houses. Each house has one adult staff member and one to two students from each grade. This opens up opportunities for mentorship, community building and social emotional learning. The houses meet on the second Friday of each month for 25 minutes. As we move forward, we are excited to see our students grow in leadership and community.
HS is headed to Windsor tonight! #rollcougs #beCrestRidge

CRS was so happy to have MO State Representative, Brandon Phelps (plus his chief of staff, Dakota Julian) come today as part of MOASSP's principal for a day initiative. Rep. Phelps toured the building, observed some classrooms, and learned about our programs and proud traditions. We are so thankful for him agreeing to visit (even as we were dressed up a bit goofy for Merry Chiefsmas day!)
3 game night! Junior High Cougars were in action at home vs. St. Paul. Lady Cougars avenged an earlier season loss in a tightly contested game. Boys A dropped a tough one and the Boys B picked up a victory in a blowout. Apologies for the lack of pictures--it was a busy night on campus!
Congrats to the Cougars on their I-70 Semi-Final win! They will play Saturday @ 5:30 in Orrick.
FFA Fundraiser items need to be picked up today! Please get your items and check out with an advisor. We will be open from advisory to approximately 6 PM for fundraiser pick ups.

🌟Crest Ridge Senior Spotlight🌟
Trent Barnes
Trent’s favorite high school memory is when Jared Hunsbarger broke the sink, a moment that definitely won’t be forgotten.
During his time at Crest Ridge, Trent participated in football, basketball, and baseball.
He says Mrs. Boyd has made the biggest impact on him because she always pushed him to get his work done and to do better.
His advice for younger Cougars is: Do your work and don’t fall behind.
After graduation, Trent plans to go into construction and hopefully join the Operators Union.
In 10 years, he sees himself owning his own home and enjoying raising his daughter.
A fun fact about Trent is that he’s athletic.
His favorite quote is:
“I live my life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters. For those 10 seconds or less, I’m free.” – The Fast and the Furious

Just some random academic products from CRS. Mrs. Helmich using cooking to drive discussion on the foundation of the UN! Persuasion posters from ELA covering pathos, logos, and ethos. Both FACS and Ag seem to looking for pests, parasites, and bacteria🦠 (hopefully to eradicate them--need to be clear on that with a wanted sign). The MS is filled with Manor systems and sweater projects. Proud of the work our teachers and students do every day.
