Thank you to the Clay City Banking Company for coming to read to Mrs. Ahlfield's class for Read Across America Week!
The kids enjoyed the first chapter of the book "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane" and will enjoy reading the rest. The kids also learned a lot about the bank and what a checking and savings account are for.

Ms. Walker's 8th grade science class recently completed a unit on forces and motion. They finalized the unit with the annual Newton Scooters project. Each vehicle was designed and built by the student and is powered by Newton’s third law of motion. Landynn Creehorne’s project travelled the greatest distance, 12.89 meters, in a straight line.

On February 26th, Mr. Brummer's junior and senior science classes took a trip to Effingham to see Dr. Reed Timmer, America's most famous storm chaser, at the Effingham Performance Center. Students were able to hear Dr. Timmer tell stories about his experiences chasing tornadoes and hurricanes, followed by a Q & A where students could ask him questions. After the show they were treated to lunch at Niemerg's Steakhouse and made a stop for ice cream at Old Mac's in Dieterich. Tickets to the show and lunch were paid for by a generous donor who happens to be an alumnus of Clay City High School Class of 1963.
