We are proud of our Cracker Trail Elementary students and staff for successfully completing a fire drill and a lockdown drill this week as part of our ongoing commitment to school safety.
These drills are essential in ensuring that our Mustang students and staff know the appropriate procedures in the event of an emergency. We are pleased to report that students responded calmly and followed directions well throughout both exercises.
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for your continued support in keeping our school community safe.

CTE Summer Camp has been exploring the world! Every Tuesday we go on a virtual field trip to a different country and then we get creative and enjoy a little fun crafting time! On this day we learned about the country of Brazil! Students filled out their Summer Adventure Passports and created amazing birds of the Amazon Rainforest!

🐴Today our 2nd graders had the honor of welcoming Mrs. Prendergast, CEO of the Champion for Children Foundation, to CTE to present a donation of $598 to benefit Lindsey's Wish, which helps children in our area affected by cancer. The students hosted a Wax Museum a few weeks ago to raise money for this cause. They were very excited to help our community out in such a big way.
