Clarke District

Ms. Wright's eighth grade earned a reward and fun day in science today to help break up the winter blahs by having a glow day! But, we were still learning science! Chemical reactions, physics, rocks that glow, and building. Students loved it!

Reminder: There is a FREE Community Dinner in the HS Cafeteria at 6:00 tonight to celebrate FFA Week. Students and families of all ages are welcome!

Today, our students had an incredible opportunity to job shadow at Clarke County Hospital!

Throughout the day, students explored a variety of departments, met healthcare professionals, and gained firsthand insight into the many careers that keep a hospital running. From patient care to behind-the-scenes operations, they were able to see the teamwork, compassion, and skill that make a difference every single day.

We are so grateful to Clarke County Hospital for opening their doors and investing in our students’ futures. Experiences like this help our learners connect classroom knowledge to real-world careers ... and maybe even spark a future in healthcare!

Reminder: There will be no school on Friday, February 27 for professional development.

3rd grade has wrapped up their unit on space and launched right into a new adventure... organisms! Students in Mrs. Gray’s 3B class will work towards answering the unitphenomenon question:

Why are some organisms less likely to survive in certain environments? 🤔

Using research cards, students are exploring evidence, asking great questions, and building their understanding of how environments impact living things. Curiosity is high and the learning is just getting started! 🔍

Happy National School Counseling Week! We are so grateful for our great team and the support they provide our students every day!

Sarah Harvey (Elementary)
Shyanne Baumann (Middle School)

Thank you for all that you do! 🍎

Students in Mrs. Pankey’s class are diving into Amplify Science by reading science books to build and strengthen unit vocabulary. Literacy and science truly go hand in hand—students are sharpening their reading, comprehension, and vocabulary skills, then bringing it all to life with hands-on experiments!

When students read it and do it, the learning really sticks! 💡✨
