A Special Moment for Ray Crowe Elementary Students!
During a recent field trip to the Children’s Museum, our students from Ray Crowe Elementary School had an exciting surprise. While exploring the museum, they discovered the Ray Crowe exhibit!
Just a few weeks earlier, students had been learning about influential Black Americans and studied the life of Ray Crowe. They discussed his incredible journey—from Whiteland student-athlete to successful basketball coach, educator, school administrator, and Indiana House of Representatives member.
Seeing his story featured in the museum made the experience come full circle. The students were thrilled to find someone they had just learned about represented in such a meaningful way.
Moments like this remind us how powerful it is when students can connect their learning to the world around them.

🏀📚 Clark-Pleasant Class is Dancing into the Elite Eight! 📚🏀
March Madness isn’t just happening on the court, it’s happening in our classrooms too!
Mrs. Debbie Campbell’s 3rd grade class at Ray Crowe Elementary is officially headed to the Elite Eight in the Indiana K-12 March Madness Bracket Challenge! This statewide competition, hosted by Indiana Sports Corp in partnership with the NCAA, invites teachers to bring the excitement of basketball into learning, and our students are all in.
Mrs. Campbell signed her class up back in November, and the experience has already been a slam dunk! The students have:
📦 Received multiple boxes of prizes
📚 Each student received Scholastic books
✏️ Colored pencil kits and supply pouches
😎 Read to the Final Four pencils, erasers, sunglasses, and slap bracelets
🧠 Used the bracket to support math, prediction, and classroom engagement activities
The kids were especially excited to receive their new books this morning!
Now the pressure is on they only have one more school to beat to make the Final Four! If they advance, the class could even earn a FREE field trip!
We love seeing our teachers find creative ways to connect learning with real-world excitement, and what better way in Indiana than basketball season?
Let’s cheer on our Ray Crowe students as they continue their tournament run!
👏 Good luck, Warriors! We’re rooting for you!
