💙 Booster Club Appreciation!

We want to take a moment to recognize and thank the Craig County Public Schools Booster Club for all that you do! 🙌

Even with limited support, you continue to make big things happen — from organizing events to supporting our student-athletes and school activities, your dedication never goes unnoticed. 🏈🏐🎽

Your hard work, time, and heart keep our programs running and our community spirit strong. 💪
Thank you, Booster Club, for always going above and beyond for our students and our schools! 💙💛

If you’ve ever cheered in the stands, enjoyed a concession snack, or been proud to see our students compete, then you’ve already seen the impact the Booster Club makes. 🏈🏐 We’d love for more parents, alumni, and community members to get involved! Whether it’s volunteering at games, helping with fundraisers, or sharing ideas — every bit of support helps keep our programs strong.

Good Afternoon, This is Jason Wheeler with one final announcement for tonight’s game. For everyone’s safety, we ask that no one park along the roadside. If additional parking is needed, the grass lot beside the elementary school playground will serve as overflow parking. Signs will be posted to clearly mark the entrance to this area. We appreciate your patience, cooperation, and understanding as we work together to ensure a safe and enjoyable evening for everyone. Thank you.

Good afternoon, This is Jason Wheeler with a few important announcements about tonight’s football game. First, we want to welcome our entire community to tonight’s game to show your support and cheer on our Rocket Football team. It has been amazing to see the support shown by the entire community over the last few weeks and we want to thank everyone. Secondly, parking at the school may be limited due to the expected larger than usual crowd. To help everyone arrive safely and on time, we encourage families and friends to carpool whenever possible. We are also encouraging spectators to allow extra time to purchase tickets and get through the line. Finally, the outside bathrooms normally used for football games will be closed for tonight's game due to the on-going plumbing issues. However, portable toilets have been placed around the football field and are available for use at tonight's game. As always, we appreciate your support and encourage everyone to represent Craig County with pride, respect, and outstanding sportsmanship. Doing so will show our guests and community the true spirit and values of Craig County Public Schools, and what it means to be a Rocket. Thank you.

CCPS loves learning and sharing! 🎉

Mrs. Childers and Mrs. McCoy coordinated an activity where our fifth graders presented their Native American homes and traditions projects to the fourth-grade classes. After presenting, the fifth graders held a Q&A session where students and teachers could ask questions as they explored the room.

Our fifth graders did an amazing job explaining what they learned, and the fourth graders were wonderful listeners—asking thoughtful questions and showing genuine curiosity. To wrap up, the fourth graders shared compliments to encourage and celebrate the hard work of the fifth graders. 💬💛

Both groups were excited, engaged, and so supportive of one another. We love seeing our students learning from each other! 🧡📚
