Lost and Found!
If you happened to have found a ring, please return it to the front office to be returned to its owner who is missing it.
An honest student found some cash and turned it in... if you know you lost some and can say when, where you may have lost it, and how much, it can be returned to you. See Dr. Judd or Mrs. Kohuth.

Make a Difference Mondays!
Shout out to Piper Sturdivant for her help on her off blocks in the book room. Thanks for making a difference here at Clark! School based volunteering opportunities are available if others are interested, too!
Take Care Tuesdays!
One of the easiest, yet often overlooked, ways to manage stress is to just breathe. When our bodies physically respond to stress, our hearts start pounding and we don’t breathe slowly and deeply... this can cause all sorts of issues getting good messages to our brains. Next time you feel tense or anxious, stop what you're doing and take a nice 3 second breath in and a slow 3 second breath out. Repeat a couple times and then you’ll be ready to take on any challenge that comes your way!
Way to Go Wednesdays!
Shout out to both Dwayne Parker and Megan Sheldon for being brave and leading circle time in Student Success on Tuesday! Any time someone is willing to learn and lead, it is a true test of character and you both passed!
Thankful Thursdays!
A parent shared, “I am grateful both of my children are in a school that keeps us informed, allows us to be involved, and really gets to know my kids. As an educator myself, I believe these qualities to be most important. I am so impressed the faculty and staff go above and beyond by pouring their hearts into the children and families of the school. At the high school level, such compassion and attention is truly unheard of. My family and I feel blessed to be a part of the Clark Family!”
Fun Fact Fridays!
Sharks have special electroreceptor organs. Sharks have small black spots near the nose, eyes, and mouth. These spots are the ampullae of Lorenzini – special electroreceptor organs that allow the shark to sense electromagnetic fields and temperature shifts in the ocean. Thanks to the Mann family for this fun fact!
Handbook Highlight
Page 18- No hanging out in cars. Park and come in.
