The theme for Mr. Jackson’s class this year is “The Path to Crawford.” How did Crawford come to be? Fort Robinson plays a big part in the answer. “There’s nothing cooler than getting to teach kids, & they’ll never forget how important this is.” History, living and breathing.

Moni Hurt is a former teacher, journalist and local historian who knew these students’ parents and grandparents. She’s Crawford through and through, and sharing this history is her passion. So cool. “This is better than any history book.”

You can always be sure if there’s a theme for spirit week, Sean Roberts is always going to participate! Haha - BBQ Dads. Sean 🎉
