🥎⚾One of our favorite traditions of the season is Youth Night! It was so much fun seeing our younger Clarke athletes out on the field, playing catch, meeting the high school players, and making memories they'll never forget.
Events like these remind us what it means to be One Tribe...bringing together athletes of all ages and inspiring the next generation of Clarke Indians!
If you missed it, don't worry! There are still plenty of opportunities to cheer on our teams. Come out to a game this week, support our student-athletes, and enjoy some great Clarke baseball and softball! 🥎⚾

🚧 Renovations are Underway at Clarke Elementary! 🚧
This summer, a large portion of Clarke Elementary will undergo an exciting renovation project! Updates will include new HVAC systems, fresh paint, updated flooring, new lighting, and cabinetry improvements.
The renovation will impact classrooms in the 1992 addition, as well as rooms that were not included in the 2023 renovation project.
A project of this size is no small task! During the final days of school last week, it was truly all hands on deck as staff worked together to pack, organize, and move every item out of the affected classrooms. While there was a lot of hard work involved, there was also plenty of laughter and teamwork along the way.
We can't wait to see these spaces transformed into beautiful, updated learning environments for our students and staff. Throughout the summer, we'll be sharing construction updates so you can follow the progress every step of the way.
Stay tuned! We're excited to take you along on the journey. Be sure to visit our renovation webpage for the latest updates: https://www.clarkecsd.org/page/2026-elementary-renovation

Last week, our 5th grade students got an exciting preview of life at Clarke Middle School!
Each student was paired with a current 6th grader, giving them a chance to follow their schedule, explore the building, and experience a typical day. From classrooms to lockers, they got a firsthand look at what next year will bring!
By the end of the visit, students were feeling more confident and at ease about the transition—and even excited for this next chapter!
We can’t wait to welcome this great group to the middle school next year!
