🌎 Happy Earth Day, OneClay! 🌎

We are lucky to live in a county with such unique natural resources, from our quiet creeks to the vast St. Johns River. In our classrooms, students are exploring the science of our environment and the importance of stewardship to ensure these "Endless Possibilities" remain for generations to come. It's a great day to get outside and appreciate the local scenery that makes Clay County such a special place to live!
