Hi! I'm Bobbi Craven, a paraprofessional at Van-Far Elementary. I am super excited to be back! I've previously worked at the school for 14 years.
When I'm not in school, I love to go on Jeep adventures with my husband, Jason! I also love spending time with my family.
I'm thankful to be back and look forward to an awesome year!

The Varsity Football game that was scheduled for this Friday, September 3rd against Wright City is being moved to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 4th. Let's go Indians!
2nd grade learned all about Synergy and Sharpening the Saw today. It’s important to work together as a team to accomplish a goal and to take care of our mind, body, heart, and soul. We teamed up to see which table could build the tallest tower!
Our kindergarteners were on the hunt for the gingerbread man today as they toured and learned about the school building. The started by reading the book, The Gingerbread Man, and then went to hunt for him around the school. You can see he left some footprints as he traveled. The kindergarten students stopped by the library, cafeteria, nurses office, counselors office, principals office, gym and secretaries office looking for that gingerbread man. At each stop, the staff member told about their job and what they do. “Run, run, as fast as you can. You can’t catch me, I’m the gingerbread man.”
Several high school football players welcomed students and staff this morning as they arrived at school. It was great to see all the smiles these athletes brought to the kids faces. Thank you for starting our day off on a positive note!!
