We’ve been hearing lots of questions about the new Dog Man and Diary of a Wimpy Kid books at the book fair! Sadly, they haven’t come out yet, but guess what? You can pre-order them online!

You can find both of these books and many more on our Book Fair Homepage now until October 20th! Plus, 25% of every online purchase from our Book Fair Homepage goes to our school!

Our Clay teachers & staff got a little extra treat this month with a snack cart FULL of goodies! 🍿🍫

A HUGE thank you to Macie Ault, Realtor for generously donating this month’s snack cart and helping us show our amazing Clay teachers & staff just how much they’re appreciated!

From sweet treats to salty snacks, there was a little something for everyone!

Thank you, Macie, for supporting our Clay family! 🖤💛
