To our CCDS Counseling Team: Thank you for your tireless heart, your patience, and your dedication to the well-being of our students. We are so grateful for the impact you make across our district!

🎶 A Night of Harmony: Celebrating our 26th Annual All-County Elementary Chorus!
Last night, the stage was set for a milestone of melody as Clay County District Schools presented our 26th Annual All-County Elementary Chorus concert. Under the masterful direction of our amazing Clay County Elementary Music Teachers, hundreds of our brightest young stars filled the air with music that touched every heart in the audience.
Our students rose to the occasion, performing a challenging repertoire that spanned from the classical beauty of Mozart’s "Alleluia Canon" to the rhythmic energy of "Thula Klizeo." They truly lived up to the evening's finale, proving that they really do "Shine Like Stars."
Highlights of the Evening:
Artistry in Motion: From the wisdom of "Three Quotes by Mark Twain" to the uplifting spirit of "If You’re Happy/Amen," our students showcased incredible talent.
Special Guest Performance: We were honored to host Alex Kirk, whose performance of the "Concertino in Eb Major" on trombone was a masterclass in musicality for our young performers.
Exceptional Accompaniment: We were privileged to have Rachel Letter Clifton as our 2026 Accompanist. Her performance provided a wonderful foundation for our students' voices and was a joy to witness.
Teachers Leading by Example: One of the most touching moments was the performance of "This is Why We Sing" by our very own Clay County Elementary Music Teachers. Seeing our educators share their own voices was a powerful reminder of the passion that fuels our arts programs every day.
To our students: Your dedication, practice, and courage on that stage were inspiring. You represented your schools and our district with such talent and grace!
To our music educators: Thank you for the countless hours of preparation and for your unwavering commitment to student success. You don't just teach music; you give our children a voice.

The wait is over, Pioneers! We are so proud to officially announce the opening of the brand-new Argyle Elementary playground. 👏
🎀 This morning’s ribbon-cutting ceremony was a beautiful celebration of our school community. The highlight of the event was hearing from Mia, a student who has been part of the Argyle family since Pre-K. Mia shared a heartfelt speech about what this new space means to the students before officially picking up the scissors to cut the ribbon. Seeing a student who has grown up in these halls lead the way made the occasion truly special.
We were honored to have Superintendent David Broskie, School Board Member Erin Skipper, and School Board Member Beth Clark in attendance to support this project and celebrate with our families.
A huge thank you to Principal Mary Dorsch, Assistant Principals Dr. Casey Leone and Olivia Smith, and our incredible district and school staff. It took a village of dedicated parents, educators, and leaders to bring this vibrant new play area to life.
From the first climb to the highest swing, we can't wait to see the years of friendship and fun that will happen right here. Congratulations, Argyle!
