Room to Run and Grow

With two recess periods per day Crane students have plenty of free-play time but they also need the rigor of a structured physical education program. For at least one hour per week students engage in a variety of competitive games and physical challenges to develop competency in offensive and defensive skills, learn the value of good sportsmanship, and gain a working knowledge of the human body. The physical education program extends beyond soccer skills and competitive play incorporating mindfulness techniques, safety skills, and physical fitness.

We are always on the look out for unique, real-world learning experiences for our students and the naming of our beloved Crane coyote is no exception. In 2013 we conducted our first school-wide election to select a name for our mascot. Students presented “campaign speeches” on behalf of their “candidate” names and “Rover” secured the most votes.  In keeping with the presidential democratic electoral process we hold an election for our mascot name in every election year. Will the first incumbent name “Rover” continue to win or will a new name be bestowed on our treasured mascot?

2016 Election Results: Rover
