Tomorrow, Wednesday, April 15th, Clay County District Schools is celebrating Purple Up! Day. We’re wearing purple to show our military-connected students that we see them, we support them, and we’re proud of them.
Whether it’s a purple shirt, a purple ribbon, or even purple socks—let’s show our military families how much Clay County cares!
