Dear Badger Families,
In true February style, the holidays are long behind us, the weather is keeping us indoors, and cabin fever is starting to set in. The good news? We have plenty happening around Craig to keep everyone busy and energized!
Family STEM Night is next Thursday and is always a fun, lively, and friendly competition. I can’t wait to see what challenge the Science Department has in store for us this year. Please be sure to click the link below to sign up!
