Crooked Oak was the recipient of a grant from Love's. Our staff submits their grant applications for "Excellence in the Classroom" to claim these funds. Congratulations to our Awardees! #RootedInExcellence

If your student is in band, they probably noticed things looking a little different as they returned to the classroom this year. We are pleased to announce that over the summer, we were notified that our band program was going to receive a significant boost from the Kirkpatrick Family Fund. Thank you to Mr. Gregg and the Kirkpatrick Family Fund for this grant and for investing in our students.
