Last year, our CPS students showed up big for the Custer County Conflict Food Drive, collecting an incredible 2,114 pounds of food for Connections Food & Resource Center! 👏

Now, we have a challenge to beat. 👀

Our local banks and civic organizations have challenged CPS students to collect more than 2,114 pounds this year. If we do, they’ll donate $2,000 to the Clinton Public Schools Resource Center! 🌪️

2,114 pounds. That’s the number. Let’s beat it.

Raid the pantry. Grab a few extra items at the store. Ask your neighbors to pitch in. $1=6 pounds of food! 🥫🤑

Bring your donations to any CPS school site by tomorrow morning. Nance Elementary and Clinton Middle School families—you can bring yours to parent-teacher conferences today!

We have one day. One goal. Let’s show them what CPS can do! 💛

This is what it looks like to right here in Clinton! 📚🦋

Every month, 251 Clinton children receive a free, age-appropriate book through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. That means 251 more kids build their home libraries, discover new stories, and grow a love of reading.

This program happens because our community believes in the power of a book. ❤️

Today, September 25, on Give Like Dolly Day, you can help bring the gift of reading to even more Clinton children and families.

Help us grow this impact and put more books into the hands of local kids. 📖

Learning about the five senses is even better when you can see, hear, smell, touch, and taste! 🍿

Mrs. Davis and Ms. Boyd’s classes put their learning into action with a popcorn activity that engaged all five senses. From hearing the kernels pop to smelling, feeling, seeing, and, of course, tasting the popcorn, our students got to experience their lesson in the best possible way!

Learning is always more fun when you can use all your senses! 👀👂👃🖐️👅

A little learning, a little culture, and something special to take home. 💛

Mr. Goodblanket spent time with classes at Nance, sharing about sweetgrass and giving students the chance to see it, learn about it, and take some home.

One of those simple moments that make learning memorable. 🌾

A little chalk, a little sunshine, and a well-earned break! ☀️🖍️

Hard work deserves a little time to create, play, and have fun. Way to go! 💛🌪️
