🏆 HAPPY NATIONAL COACHES DAY!

Behind every practice, game, early morning, late night, win, and loss is a coach who continues to show up and invest in our students.
To all of our Cross County coaches, thank you for the countless hours you give and the difference you make in the lives of our student athletes.
Help us show our coaches some appreciation today! Happy National Coaches Day!

🧹 HAPPY SCHOOL CUSTODIAN APPRECIATION DAY! 🔵⚪
Today we’re celebrating the incredible people who work behind the scenes to keep Cross County looking its best!
Our custodians do so much more than clean our buildings. They prepare our schools each morning, take care of the unexpected throughout the day, help with events, and make sure our students and staff have a clean and welcoming place to learn and work.
Much of what they do happens before most of us arrive or after we’ve gone home, but their impact is seen every single day.
Please join us in saying a big THANK YOU to our Cross County custodians for their hard work and dedication to our schools! 👏🔵⚪

🚛 CAREER EXPLORATION CAME TO CROSS COUNTY! 🔵⚪
Last Thursday and Friday, our 8th through 12th grade students had the opportunity to step aboard the Be Pro Be Proud mobile workshop and get a hands on look at careers in skilled professions.
The interactive experience gave students a chance to explore career pathways, try out skills, and learn more about opportunities that could be part of their future.
Career readiness is about more than talking about what comes after high school. It’s about giving students opportunities to experience the possibilities for themselves.
Thank you to Be Pro Be Proud for bringing this experience to our students! 🚛🛠️

🥔⚡ CHEMISTRY YOU CAN SEE IN ACTION!
Students in Mrs. Nikki’s Chemistry class explored the relationship between ions, water, and conductivity with an experiment involving two familiar foods: a potato and a potato chip!
Students tested each one to see how well it conducted electricity, giving them a hands on way to connect the chemistry concepts they’ve been studying to everyday objects.
Experiments like this give students a chance to test ideas, observe results, and see science come to life right in the classroom! 🧪
