Message from the Office

It's hard to believe that tomorrow is the last day of school!! I want to first congratulate the 5th-grade students and wish them the best of luck in middle school. It was my pleasure to serve as their principal for the past year.

To the 3rd and 4th grade students, you have made my first year at Crandall a memorable one. I am looking forward to continuing our partnership next year and in the years to come.

Map of the USA

Thank you to James Gannon (former Prudence Crandall Cougar), who refurbished the map on the back blacktop for his Eagle Scout project. The students in the 4th grade have already utilized it as they study the regions of the United States as part of their social studies curriculum.
