If any Crab Orchard CUSD #3 students in grades 5-12 for the upcoming 2026-2027 school year are interested in being a part of any of our athletic teams, they are required to have a current sports physical on file with the District. We are pleased to announce that we will be offering a FREE Sports Physical day at the school on June 30th from 9 AM until 12 PM. This will be offered on a first-come-first-served basis.

Subject: Summer School Breakfast

Dear Parents and Guardians,

For many kids, summertime means food, friends and fun! However, for families who count on school breakfast and lunch, the summer months can be stressful and family food budgets have to be stretched further than normal. Crab Orchard Schools, funded by the USDA, is offering free breakfast meals to kids 18 years old and younger. Adult meals (age 19 and older) may be purchased for $3.00 during the summer breakfast program.

The summer breakfast program will run through summer school. Breakfast times are 7:30AM - 8:30AM. Dates are:

June 1st – 4th

June 8th – 11th

June 15th – 18th

No application or proof of income is needed.

If you or someone you know is interested, and you have any questions, please call 1-618-982-2181.
