Douglass Elementary School

Yesterday was field day! It was perfect weather and we had so much fun! Thank you to Ms. Clipston for putting on an amazing event.

Career day was a huge success yesterday! Thank you to all of our amazing presenters for sharing your time, talents and careers with our students!

We are still riding the high from RCA EXP in Atlanta and wow… what an experience. We learned so much, laughed a lot, and left feeling completely re-energized about what’s possible in the classroom and at our school.

If Ron Clark Academy has been on your teacher bucket list, this is your sign. It’s full of inspiration, practical strategies, and that signature RCA magic! ✨ You walk away with ideas you can actually use and the motivation to make them happen.

Already counting down until the next time.
