On Friday, our Senior Board brought the energy to Ridgeview Elementary for High Five Friday! They welcomed students with music, smiles, and plenty of high fives, creating a fun and positive start to the day. It was a great opportunity for our seniors to connect with our younger Panthers and spread school spirit throughout the morning. #PanthersRISE

We are so grateful for the support of our community partners! 💙
Last week, we had the opportunity to meet with Ms. Priscilla Rose from the Democratic Women’s Club of Florida – Clay County, who stopped by with generous donations of essential hygiene products for our students. In recognition of Women’s Month, their organization is working to ensure that young ladies have access to the resources they need to feel confident, comfortable, and prepared each day. We truly appreciate their thoughtful approach to supporting our students and taking the time to connect with us about how best to meet their needs. #PanthersRISE

Clay County District Schools is proud to be a community that supports our military families! 💜
April is the Month of the Military Child, and we invite all students, staff, and families to "Purple Up!" on Wednesday, April 15th.
Why purple? It’s the color that symbolizes all branches of the military coming together—a blend of Army green, Marine Corps red, and Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard blue. By wearing purple, we show our military-connected students that we appreciate their strength, sacrifices, and resilience.
Let’s turn our hallways and classrooms into a sea of purple on April 15th!

HOSA brought some fun to campus today during class change with a creative Easter Egg Hunt that combined excitement with learning. Students kept an eye out for over 300 colorful eggs hidden around campus, each filled with a health fact. and a few even included a sweet treat. The hunt also featured special golden eggs that could be turned in for a full-size candy bar. It was a great way to engage students while reinforcing important health knowledge, and we appreciate HOSA for organizing such a fun activity for our campus. #PanthersRISE
