Recently, our 3rd and 4th grade students got to meet and chat virtually with the talented author, Carlie Sorosiak, who wrote the heartwarming Sunshine State Young Reader Award (SSYRA) nominee, Always, Clementine! She explained why she enjoys writing books from an animal's point of view, how she wanted to be a veterinarian when she was younger, and even how she volunteers at a cat shelter in Georgia! It was an incredible opportunity to connect our young readers with the person behind the pages. Thank you, Carlie Sorosiak, for inspiring our next generation of storytellers!

National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day serves as a solemn reminder of the cost of freedom.

Clay County District Schools joins the nation in honoring the memory of those who perished at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and recognizing the strength of the generation that followed.

We teach our students the importance of remembering history and respecting the sacrifice of our veterans.
