Last week’s Halloween Bash is in the books and it was truly one of our greatest ever! We trick-or-treated in our hallways at day's end, ate a ton of candy, cookies, and chips thanks to our generous parents, crowned the Great Pumpkin 2021, and announced our costume contest winners.
We would like to congratulate this year's Great Pumpkin winners:

Global Teacher-to-Teacher Exchange: The Craig School and GD Goenka World School located in Sohna, a city outside of New Delhi, India, gathered a small group of teachers and administrators via Zoom to exchange ideas on the shifts in education seen since the beginning of the pandemic. Topics focused on student emotional well-being in this new era of education. It was evident that even though GD Goenka and The Craig School are on opposite sides of the globe and each school’s mission is very different, so much of what we are seeing in the classroom is the same, such as the awareness of building relationships with students and families to foster learning and tuning into the social and emotional well-being of students. The two schools plan on continuing this exchange throughout the school year through facilitated dialogue and teacher training opportunities.

Badger Afterschool Intramural Soccer League Begins First Week in November: Indoor soccer is back! We have enough interest to make this official. Our intramural season will begin the first week in November and run through Thanksgiving, is CO-ED, open to all high school students, and a great opportunity to improve basic soccer skills in game like situations while being a part of a dynamic and supportive team.
Our season will include afterschool practices from 3-4:30PM on the following TUES in November:
We are hoping to coordinate a game or two with another HS before we break for Thanksgiving.
THE CRAIG SCHOOL ANNUAL FUND
The Annual Fund helps to make up the difference between the cost of tuition and the cost of educating each Craig student. We use donations raised through the Annual Fund to not only provide the very best educational program for our students but also do many incredible things on campus that your tuition dollars don’t cover such as:
WHO DONATES TO THE ANNUAL FUND?
Everyone! All constituencies are encouraged to participate (faculty, staff, parents, alumni, friends, grandparents, foundations, corporations) at whatever financial level they feel is appropriate. Historically, 100% of faculty and staff donate to the Annual Fund each year.
