8th grade parents! Mrs. Snyder needs you help for our last bulletin board! Student Council had the idea to put toddler/baby pictures up of those that will be graduating from our building next month! If you could please email your picture to Mrs. Snyder that would be greatly appreciated. Mrs. Snyder's email is mcrall@co-u.net!
Mrs Snyder is also needing four year high school plans and registration for MVAOCOU still turned in. If she gets all of the registration sheets, four year plans, and baby pictures in before the last week of school Mrs Snyder will buy pizza for the 8th grade class. However, she needs this all of the requirements from everyone!

It's time for our weekly Staff Spotlight, where we take time to introduce one of our amazing staff members to you, our community. We hope you enjoy getting to know us a little better. Today we introduce the wonderful Ms. Crysta Gierstorf! She is our wonderful English Language Arts and Reading Instructor for Middle School. She has been a full time teacher at CO-U since January.
During the 22-23 school year she was here as part of her college coursework as well as being a substitute. She Student Taught here this Fall and in January moved to full time. Some of the things she loves most about working here are, the kindness of the other teachers and staff. She states it has really helped make her first year more enjoyable. When asked what advice she would give to someone just starting their career here, she stated “Ask your questions! Everyone is more than willing to help you.” When stopping by the cafeteria she says that her favorite school lunch is pizza.
Outside of school she enjoys hanging out with her loved ones. This includes her cat Sammie as well as spending lots of time with her parents and grandma. In her free time she enjoys reading, playing video games and watching documentaries with Sammie always laying with her.
