In this episode of the ProjectUnite podcast, we sit down with Clayton Lang, physical education teacher at Cuyuna Range Elementary school. Mr. Lang shares exciting news regarding a project he's working on at CRES involving an arboretum and outdoor classroom. He highlights the important physical and mental health benefits that fresh air and sunshine provide, even in winter. Mr. Lang also gives us a closer look at the Cuyuna Off-Road Triathlon the CRES PTO puts on annually. If you’re like us, you’ll be inspired to dust off your running shoes, brush up on your paddling skills, and oil that bike chain. 

In episode 3 of the ProjectUnite podcast, C-I parents Janel Lewandowski and Liz Toftness talk with Dr. Jamie Skjeveland, District Superintendent of Crosby-Ironton schools. We asked Dr. Sjkeveland about the budget shortfall C-I is anticipating in the coming school year- will sports and electives be cut in an effort to reduce costs? Is there anything we can do to help?

Listen to our transparent and enlightening conversation, where Jamie answers tough questions and reminds us it’s about the people. Be informed, be positive.
