💜 We love our Clover families! 🍀

Tonight at conferences, we set up our CRE Family Help Hub to share helpful information about Clover Ridge and connect families with free resources, including school supplies and shoes.

We are so thankful for the connections that make our Clover community so special. We want every family to feel welcomed, supported, and connected to the resources they need to thrive. Thank you for being part of what makes CRE such a special place! 💜🍀

👑 We had a special reader visit our kindergarten classrooms last week! Dr. Rathke, our superintendent, stopped by to read King of Kindergarten with our kinders.

We loved having her join us for some reading, smiles, and a little kindergarten fun! 📖

Thank you, Dr. Rathke, for spending time with our youngest learners! 🍀
