TODAY!

*Breakfast and Lunch* during our 3 weeks of June summer school. Children do not need to be enrolled in summer school to come and eat. Open to all children under the age of 18.

A huge THANK YOU to the businesses who participated in our first Career on Wheels day! Today, students got to learn about future possibilities, build connections within our community, and understand the importance of goal setting and perseverance.

We are SO excited to announce that this summer, Lewis and Clark will be getting a brand new playground! While our current playground has been filled with love and adventures, we can't wait for this new chapter for Lewis and Clark Elementary and the surrounding neighborhood to enjoy for years to come.

As construction begins, the playground will be closed starting June 8th for a short time this summer. We will make another announcement and invite you all when it's ready for you to come play! 😀

The Lewis and Clark Choir performed with the Mixed Voices Community Choir last night at Calvary Lutheran Church. It was a beautiful, lively performance!

A free will offering was taken and over $1300 was raised for our PTO. We are SO grateful!

Music is so deeply important in our community, and it was awesome to see our community come together in this way last night. Calvary supports Lewis and Clark in so many ways, too! The Mixed Voices choir has several Lewis and Clark staff members as singers, along with a Lewis and Clark Lion grandparent, as well.

This is what community is all about!

A special thank you to Mrs. Benson for all the incredible work you do for our students to foster their love of music, and to Dr. Whitney Berry for choosing our school to support.
