A note from Mrs. Cureton:

We have had a great week of learning and celebrating on campus this week! Congrats to Mrs. Craft--our 2022-2023 Campus Teacher of the Year & Mrs. Pecina--our 2022-2023 Campus Rookie of the Year. Another congrats goes out to Ms. Jones' (4th grade) homeroom! Ms. Jones' homeroom has been working hard to complete their iReady lessons with 100% mastery and reached their class goal! We will celebrate them next week with a pizza party! We also celebrated our awesome counselors this week for National School Counselors week. We greatly appreciate our counselors, Dr. Warren & Ms. Strong for supporting our students and staff at Clarkston!
