📜 Happy U.S. Constitution Day! 📜

Today, September 17th, we celebrate the signing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787—the foundation of our nation’s freedoms, rights, and democracy.

As part of American Founders' Month, students across Clay County District Schools are diving into civics and history lessons to learn how our government works and what it means to be an active, informed citizen. ❤️🤍💙

Help us celebrate today! Parents and guardians, ask your students what they learned about the Constitution in school today!

Please join us in congratulating Chy'anne Brown for being selected as our PRIDE student of the week. P.R.I.D.E. stands for Positive, Responsible, Involved, Diligent and Efficient. Mr. Crawford nominated Chy'anne because she has shown tremendous PRIDE with the way she conducts herself at school. What is more, she is very respectful and is a wonderful example to her peers. Congratulations Chy'anne!!! Keep up the great work!

Congratulations to the 7th and 8th grade volleyball teams for defeating Keystone Heights. Both teams played exciting 3 game matches. The 7th grade team was filled with energy and brought it all to the court. Special props to all the girls for stellar saves and amazing serves. Way to bring it. The 8th grade team swept the court with continuous saves, bump, set, spike combos, and rally wins. Special shout out to all the girls taking their matches 25-21 and 15-10. Michelle Guillaume served 9 straight points in the second game and Abygail McCook served the final 3 points in the last game to complete the win. Way to go Lady Wildcats!🐾🐾 #WildcatStrong
