CLC Teacher Feature! 🌿
Mr. Nathan is our Lead 5th Grade Teacher, and has been at CLC for ten years!
Mr. Nathan got his degree in Elementary Education at Flagler College.
In his spare time, Mr. Nathan enjoys CrossFit in the mornings and spending time with family and friends whenever he can. 🏋️
A fun (unique?) fact about Mr. Nathan: "I have crooked pinkies." Good to know, Mr. Nathan. Good to know! 👀
Preschoolers getting ready for a fun gardening class with Ms. Meg! 💚
What a delicious treat for our teachers! Thanks to our friends and family operating Tallahassee’s made to order shop. Soooo many tasty varieties — everyone found something to enjoy.
CLC Administrator Feature! ☀️
You may have seen our Office Manager, Ms. Bethany, around campus (and definitely at the front desk)!
A little bit more about Ms. Bethany:
Ms. Bethany attended several universities while her husband was in the Navy, and graduated from the University of Mary Washington with her BA in English and a concentration in Creative Writing in 2018. 📖
Her favorite thing to do is write! Ms. Bethany has dabbled in creative writing ever since she learned to read and write. Though she typically writes novels now, she also loves to write screenplays and song lyrics. Aside from that, Ms. Bethany loves to garden and draw. 💚
"A lot of our families and students know this already, but I was a CLC kid! I attended Cornerstone from Kindergarten all the way up until 8th grade. Ms. Patty B. was my drama teacher and taught me how to have express myself. Mr. Jason was my 3rd & 4th grade teacher, and showed me how to use my resources, how to respect nature, and urged me to always continue writing. Ms. Patty C. was my music teacher for a couple of years and helped me train my singing voice in preparation for high school. Coming back to CLC has been a dream. Not only have I been reacquainted with some of the best people I know, but now I get to watch as my daughter (who is in pre-k) experience all the things I cherished the most while growing up at CLC, too." 🌻
Happy first day of the 2023-2024 school year, CLC!
💚💙💚
Mr. Zach sure loves his Kindergarteners! And we love him!
Who’s ready for orientation?! 🌻
Orientation will be next Friday, August 11th! More detailed information on Orientation, etc. will be sent to your emails on Monday. 💌
We can’t wait to see you all! Enjoy the last days of Summer! ☀️
CLC Administrator Feature! 💚
Ms. Patty B., our Admissions Director, has been a part of our CLC community from the very beginning!
Ms. Patty was our Pre-K teacher for years, as well as our drama teacher. Before coming to CLC, she graduated from FSU with her degree in Theatre with an emphasis in Stage Management. 🎭
In her spare time, Ms. Patty enjoys watching movies, camping, and travelling. 🚐
A fun fact from Ms. Patty:
"Many years ago, our then after school coordinator, Mr. Sidney, had written a play. He wanted to turn it into an after school activity for our students. So, with Mr. Sid's play, my theatre background, and lots of help and encouragement from our then P.E. coach, Mr. Chris, we mounted the first All School Play, "Hip-Hopera." That annual tradition continued until the recent pandemic years. I had stopped directing a few years prior to the pandemic as my administrative duties increased. But my daughter, Emily, co-directed with Mr. Chris for a couple of years while she worked at CLC.
I am thrilled to see this long standing CLC tradition return under Ms. Edith's leadership!"
And we are so thankful to have Ms. Patty here in the front office, always around to help and cheer on her peers and all our students and families! 🌻
It’s hard to believe our eight 8th graders will be graduating tomorrow! Some staff at CLC have known this crew since they were very little - others just met them this year. But all of us are incredibly proud of them. We can’t wait to see what high school has in store. Congrats, grads! 💙💚💙
Congratulations to CLC Grad, Teresa Morgado (’19) for becoming the 2023 Valedictorian at Maclay School. After earning a National Merit Scholarship she applied to colleges in the US and Great Britain and was accepted at schools such as the University of Edinburgh, UCL London, Imperial College, Georgetown, UNC, and Vanderbilt, among others. In the end, she accepted a full ride to Rice University where she’ll begin her studies in biomedical sciences. Congratulations, Teresa. We are so proud of you and excited for what comes next.
This weekend, Ms. Bethany and Ms. Sky are getting their certifications in Wilderness First Aid! ⚕️
These skills will be extremely beneficial for Ms. Sky at school and on the farm, and will help Ms. Bethany aid students on campus and on field trips.
Today, they learned how to assess various situations, how to proceed with patient care, and how to make arm and leg splints in the wilderness! 🌲
This evening’s Silver Stars event included these 8 students (before and after the event), who were responsible for interviewing the Silver Stars honored by the Tallahassee Senior Center. These are folks being honored for leading lives of service, engagement, and active compassion.
Our students did an incredible job honoring and centering the 8 seniors who were being celebrated this evening. We are proud of these young scholars’ leadership, compassion, dedication, and professionalism this semester. Great evening.

Congratulations to our 6th grader for earning 2nd place in the Soil and Water Conservation District poster contest. We really appreciate how her argument against pollution starts first with concrete facts and then pivots toward advocacy. The fact that she broadens the scope of her advocacy from Leon County to the larger impact from myriad sources and systems illustrates her capacity at critical thinking and global connectedness. Well earned, Sophia. Congrats.

Right now we are holding CLC alumni Nathaniel Lata ('15) in our hearts as he and his family navigate this medical emergency. If you know Nathaniel and his family, you can keep track of his journey with the below CaringBridge.
In short, Nathaniel was on a graduation trip (just graduating from Vanderbilt) to Colombia when dehydration led to vomiting and discovery by medical professionals that he was in diabetic ketoacidosis. Until this discovery, his diabetes was undiagnosed.
Big love to you, Nathaniel. The whole CLC community stands alongside you and your family with hearts full of love and lots of hope for your full recovery.
A Crooked Path Greetings from Bogota---Phyllis here. The bullet points: They decided to wait longer for the brain swelling (edema) to be gone before waking Nathaniel up; he’ll also get an MRI for more detailed look; edema with diabetic ketoacidosis ...
