🎶 A Night of Harmony: Celebrating our 26th Annual All-County Elementary Chorus!
Last night, the stage was set for a milestone of melody as Clay County District Schools presented our 26th Annual All-County Elementary Chorus concert. Under the masterful direction of our amazing Clay County Elementary Music Teachers, hundreds of our brightest young stars filled the air with music that touched every heart in the audience.
Our students rose to the occasion, performing a challenging repertoire that spanned from the classical beauty of Mozart’s "Alleluia Canon" to the rhythmic energy of "Thula Klizeo." They truly lived up to the evening's finale, proving that they really do "Shine Like Stars."
Highlights of the Evening:
Artistry in Motion: From the wisdom of "Three Quotes by Mark Twain" to the uplifting spirit of "If You’re Happy/Amen," our students showcased incredible talent.
Special Guest Performance: We were honored to host Alex Kirk, whose performance of the "Concertino in Eb Major" on trombone was a masterclass in musicality for our young performers.
Exceptional Accompaniment: We were privileged to have Rachel Letter Clifton as our 2026 Accompanist. Her performance provided a wonderful foundation for our students' voices and was a joy to witness.
Teachers Leading by Example: One of the most touching moments was the performance of "This is Why We Sing" by our very own Clay County Elementary Music Teachers. Seeing our educators share their own voices was a powerful reminder of the passion that fuels our arts programs every day.
To our students: Your dedication, practice, and courage on that stage were inspiring. You represented your schools and our district with such talent and grace!
To our music educators: Thank you for the countless hours of preparation and for your unwavering commitment to student success. You don't just teach music; you give our children a voice.

during free time. Tickets will be color coordinated per grade level and students will turn in tickets to the
media center. A drawing will be done at the end of the week with winners from each grade level.
Monday: Stars and Stripes
Dress up in Red, White, and Blue.
School Wide Activity: Drop Everything and Read (D.E.A.R.) a special time when the whole school reads at the same time, possibly 10-15 min before dismissal.
Tuesday: Read the People
Wear a shirt with a positive message.
Patriotic Bookmarkers will given to students to color their own bookmarker that has a patriotic theme.
Wednesday: Future of America
Dress up like your future career.
Teachers will be given paper stars to write new words that students have learned so far this year. A bulletin board will be created with all the star words that have been collected. Goal would be to get 250 words to celebrate the “250 Chapters of America”.
Thursday: Branches of our Military
Dress to represent a branch of the military or camouflage.
Hats Off to Reading. Students can bring in a fun hat to wear while they read.
