Happy Nurse Appreciation Day to Nurse Deller!

Thank you for taking such great care of our students every single day. From helping kids feel better to keeping our campus healthy and safe, you handle it all with so much kindness and patience.

We appreciate the way you show up for our students and staff, always ready to help with a smile. Cactus Ranch is a better place because of you! 💙

Happy Principal’s Day to our extraordinary leader, Vicki Crain!

With 36 years in education, Mrs. Crain has dedicated her career to shaping the lives of students, staff, and families in the most meaningful ways. From the very beginning, she has been a cornerstone of Cactus Ranch Elementary, opening our doors in 2001 as assistant principal and stepping into her role as principal in 2004.

Under her leadership, Cactus Ranch has grown into a top 10 school, a reflection of her unwavering commitment to excellence. She has left a lasting mark through innovative initiatives like the School of Communication and the implementation of our beloved house system. Both of which have helped define the culture and success of our campus.

As she prepares to retire this year, we celebrate not only her incredible accomplishments, but the heart, vision, and passion she has poured into our school community. Her impact will be felt for years to come, and she will be deeply missed by all who have had the privilege of learning and working alongside her.

Thank you, Mrs. Crain, for everything you have given to Cactus Ranch. 💛

Bus Driver Appreciation Day! 🚌
They are the first friendly faces our students see in the morning and the steady hands that ensure a safe commute home. April 28 is Bus Driver Appreciation Day, and it’s the perfect time to say "thank you" to the dedicated professionals who keep our community moving. Whether they are navigating tight city streets, braving the morning frost, or managing a bus full of energetic kids, our drivers do it all with a commitment to safety and a heart for service.

HOUSE OLYMPICS ARE HERE! We are ready for a day of teamwork, friendly competition, and school spirit on Wednesday, April 29!
