❤️🤍💙 WEAR YOUR PATRIOTIC COLORS FOR FREEDOM FRIDAY!

A blue and red T-shirt displays text "Wear Your Patriotic Colors For" against a white background with stars. Below, a calendar icon and text read "Freedom Friday September 25 Celebrating American Founders' Month".
On November 3, Clay County voters will consider the renewal of the existing One Mill ad valorem funding for four years (July 1, 2027 – June 30, 2031).

Because this measure is a renewal of the existing operating millage, it continues current funding without increasing tax rates. Revenues are strictly dedicated to two operational priorities:

School Safety: Funding law enforcement contracts for campus officers.

Employee Compensation: Providing competitive pay to retain and attract quality teachers and support staff.

All expenditures are subject to review by an independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee. Visit oneclay.net/renewal for more information.

🐻🐾 We’re Going on a Bear Hunt! 🐷🏠

Our Mrs. Ellsworth storytellers officially wrapped up their "Family & Relatives" unit, bringing two classic favorites—Goldilocks and the Three Bears and The Three Little Pigs—to life in the most adventurous way possible!

To celebrate, our little learners set off on an epic, hands-on Bear Hunt across the classroom!

✨ What we practiced along the way:
Story Retelling: Reenacting narrative plots through creative, imaginary play.
Gross Motor Skills: Swishing, splashing, and stomping through every obstacle.
Crafting & Design: Bringing the tales to life using custom, homemade props!

It’s safe to say our little explorers can't go over it, can't go under it... they had to go through it! Way to go, little adventurers! 🎈🎨✨
