To The Crookston Times readers,

It is with regret that CherryRoad Media announces the closing of The Crookston Times

Our company is dedicated to the preservation of community journalism. Since the purchase of our 1st paper in late-2020 to today, we have prided ourselves on our ability to fight the difficult battle that newspapers face in today’s digital society. Unfortunately, that battle cannot always be won.

The Crookston Times has struggled in recent years to find its footing in this community. Since purchasing The Crookston Times, CherryRoad Media has been unable to avoid financial losses every month. The paper was losing money when we bought it, and it continued to do so. We must now come to terms with the fact that we do not have a path forward to sustainability.

And we thank those who have supported us.

Why is Cathedral School “out of this world’?

February 1, 2023

Cathedral School is out of this world because I have the best teacher ever, awesome friends, and fun classes. My teacher is funny and makes us laugh while learning, she is kind, and she rewards us for our hard work. I love my friends because they are kind to everyone, and they are respectful. I love reading, writing, art, coloring, and, most of all, my Chromebook.I like reading because I get to read out loud, which helps me get better at reading. I like writing about my friends and animals, especially my dogs. Art is good because I get to learn about different artists. Some of the artists are really really good at art, and some of them are talented. I get to color and draw with my friends sometimes during quiet time and at art. I like my drawing and coloring skills because I am talented and I practice. I like my Chromebook, most of all, because it is a great resource for helping me learn more by doing things like researching football players and practicing math. Cathedral School is out of this world because the things we learn and do are out of this world.
