Clay City CUSD #10

There was some friendly competition happening around the school with some March Madness brackets. Miss. Goldman had a student pool and teacher pool. Senior Ellie Hagen's men's bracket made her a winner while her younger sister, eighth grader Clara Hagen, took the top spot for the women's bracket competition. Science teacher Mr. Brummer's bracket was enough to push him into #1 spot amongst his colleagues. Thanks Miss Goldman for some fun competition and congratulations to our winners!

Miss Fender's first graders had a lemonade party on April 8th for positive behavior. Students got to enjoy cookies and lemonade while playing bingo!

Mrs. Klein's second graders traveled to the Little Theater in Sullivan to see the live theater performance of Shrek Jr. They had a great time and enjoyed the live show!

DON'T FORGET!! Clay City Schools pre-k through 8th grade students will be collecting change/bills for Flora's Masonic Lodge #204 during the month of April. Funds raised will go to Shriners Hospital in St. Louis. The class that collects the most will receive a pizza party!

"National Assistant Principals Week, April 7–11, 2025, is a celebration of the unsung heroes in our education system. These dedicated folks work tirelessly to bolster teachers, motivate students, support their principal, create a positive learning community, and face the many unpredictable challenges that land on their desk. Assistant Principals play a crucial role, and this week is a dedicated time to recognize them for their hard work and commitment to our schools, students, and profession," (NASSP.org). Thank you to junior high assistant principal Mr. Wattles for all you do for CCJH!
