🎓 College GO! Week is almost here! 🎓
Next week, schools across Clark-Pleasant will be celebrating with college-themed dress-up days, activities and plenty of conversations about what comes after high school.
And here at the Administration Building, we decided we couldn’t let the students have all the fun. 😉 We’re kicking things off by sporting some of our favorite college gear and sharing our own #WhyApply stories.
And yes… you really can be close co-workers when one of you shows up in IU’s candy-striped red and white pants and another is wearing Purdue’s black and gold overalls. ❤️🤍🖤💛
But behind the school spirit are some pretty meaningful reasons our team chose college.
📚 Dawn Sonsini, Director of Curriculum, knew she wanted to teach:
“I was always passionate about learning and wanted to instill that same desire in children. I chose Butler because I loved the College of Education and the campus. Go Dawgs!”
💭 Jeff Clawson, Student Information Systems and Data Reporting Administrator, said he applied to college to become a critical thinker and to know when to challenge things that could harm his community.
💙 CFO Brad Pendleton shared that college provides “knowledge, experiences and friends that will last a lifetime.”
Across our Admin Team, the answers were all a little different:
✨ For my kids
✨ To better myself
✨ To open doors and create opportunities
✨ For hands-on experience, critical thinking and specialized training
✨ To make lifelong friends and connections
And our paths to college were different, too. Some grew up with parents, grandparents and other family members who had attended college. Others were the first in their families to go. Communications Coordinator Jenny Zahm was a first-generation college student after her parents became the first members of their families to graduate from high school.
That’s one of the reasons we love College GO! Week. There isn’t just one reason to apply, one path to take or one definition of what comes next.
Next week, we’ll be celebrating those possibilities throughout Clark-Pleasant—and we can’t wait to see how our schools join in!

Celebrating Constitution Day at Break-O-Day Elementary School!
Break-O-Day Elementary School had a very special visitor this morning! In honor of Constitution Day, Johnson County Judge Andrew Roesener visited our first-grade classrooms and brought an important civics lesson to life for some of our youngest Warriors.
Judge Roesener started at the beginning, asking students if they knew what country they lived in before taking them through the story of how America came to be.
He shared that the American colonies were once under the rule of Great Britain and its king, introducing students to their vocabulary word of the day — monarchy. 👑 He explained that Americans decided they did not want to be ruled by a king and eventually became an independent country with a new system of government.
From there, he introduced students to the three branches of government and talked about the president, Congress and judges — helping them see where his job as a judge fits into the way our government is structured. ⚖️
Then he showed them a little more about what being a judge actually looks like! Judge Roesener led the first graders through a mock trial involving a very serious case: the missing brownie! 🍫And he came prepared — bringing his real judicial robe and gavel for our student judge to use during the trial! Students took on courtroom roles, participated in the case and got to experience the judicial process in a fun, age-appropriate way.
And, of course, no visit to a first-grade classroom would be complete without time for questions! Our students made sure to ask the hard-hitting ones — How old are you? What’s your favorite song? And, perhaps most importantly, do you know about 6/7? 😂 Judge Roesener happily answered the questions that really matter when you’re a first grader!
It was such a special morning that we were also excited to welcome the Daily Journal and The Franklin College newspaper to Break-O-Day to help capture and share the experience with our community.
We love opportunities like this to bring civic learning into our classrooms and make it meaningful for our students. Experiences like today give even our youngest learners a foundation for understanding how our country came to be, why our government is structured the way it is and how they are a part of it.
A big thank you to Judge Roesener for coming to Break-O-Day Elementary School and making Constitution Day such an interactive and memorable learning experience for our first graders! 🇺🇸

💙🧡 MEET OUR AMBASSADORS: ALAN PEEGE
We're continuing to introduce you to the members of our 2026–27 Clark-Pleasant Ambassador Academy, and today we'd like you to meet Alan Peege!
Alan is a husband and dad of five whose family has been part of Clark-Pleasant for many years. Four of his children have already graduated from the district, and his youngest is still a Clark-Pleasant student. That has given Alan the opportunity to watch his children grow up in our schools, face challenges, make mistakes, find their interests and begin figuring out who they want to become.
Professionally, Alan has spent much of his career in construction, remodeling, disaster restoration and operations leadership. After several years in corporate leadership, he recently returned to owning his own remodeling company.
And maybe it's fitting that someone who has spent his career building things has become interested in helping build an even stronger school community.
So, why Ambassador Academy?
For Alan, it started with a desire to become more involved.
“I also believe being part of a community means more than simply living here. It means being willing to show up, listen, learn, and take responsibility for making things better when you have the opportunity.”
After experiencing Clark-Pleasant for so many years as a parent, Alan wants to better understand what happens behind the scenes—from the challenges involved in operating a school district to how decisions are made and where community members can make a difference.
One thing that already resonates strongly with him is the Warrior Way: Be Respectful. Be Responsible. Be Safe.
Alan believes those principles extend well beyond a student's years in school. For him, education isn't only about preparing young people for careers; it's also about helping prepare them for life.
“I'm proud that Clark-Pleasant has a foundation that emphasizes not just what our kids accomplish, but who they become.”
Through Ambassador Academy, Alan hopes to learn more about what it takes to support students, teachers and staff and how he can personally contribute to Clark-Pleasant's continued success.
And here's something fun about Alan: he has an adventurous side! He loves boating and sailing, and once his youngest graduates, he and his family have plans to head off on a sailboat toward the Caribbean, exploring the islands and the East Coast along the way. ⛵
He's also a self-described storyteller—although he admits his kids might say it sometimes takes him a little longer than necessary to get to the point! 😄
We are excited that after so many years of experiencing Clark-Pleasant as a parent, Alan has chosen to spend this year seeing the district from a whole new perspective.
👋 Welcome to Ambassador Academy, Alan!

Keeping the Story of 9/11 Relevant for a New Generation
Last Friday marked 25 years since September 11, 2001.
For many of us, 9/11 is something we remember — where we were, what we were doing and how we felt as the events of that day unfolded. But for every student in our schools today, September 11 is history. In fact, enough time has passed that even some of our educators were not yet born when it happened.
So how do we help a new generation understand not only what happened that day, but also the courage, sacrifice and humanity that emerged from it?
At Clark Elementary School, fifth-grade teacher Kelly Roy has found a meaningful way to do just that by sharing the story of Welles Crowther, “The Man in the Red Bandana.” Through his story, students learn about an ordinary person who made an extraordinary choice to help others during one of our nation’s darkest days.
As the years continue to pass, stories like this help ensure that September 11 remains more than a date in a history book. They give our students a personal connection to the past and an opportunity to talk about courage, service, compassion and what it means to help others.
Thank you to the Daily Journal for highlighting the meaningful ways our Clark-Pleasant educators continue to bring history to life for our students.
We remember. We learn. We carry the stories forward.

It's National Arts in Education Week!
🎶⚾ CPMS Choirs Take the Field!
What a special night for our Clark-Pleasant Middle School choirs!
On Saturday evening, our talented CPMS choir students had the opportunity to perform “America the Beautiful” at the Indianapolis Indians game.
And their night wasn’t over yet! During the seventh-inning stretch, they returned to help lead the crowd in a ballpark favorite — “Take Me Out to the Ball Game!” ⚾
We love seeing our Warriors share their talents beyond the walls of our schools and represent Clark-Pleasant in our community and beyond.
Congratulations to our CPMS choir students and Choral Director Kendall Anvoots on a memorable performance! 🧡💙

🤖📰 IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Our Robotics Teams Are Rebooting!
Last week, the Daily Journal put the spotlight on an exciting new chapter for robotics at Clark-Pleasant!
CPCSC was recently named one of just 102 recipients statewide of Indiana’s 2026–27 K-12 Robotics Competition Grant. The grant will help us expand competitive robotics opportunities for students at Clark-Pleasant Middle School and Whiteland Community High School — providing more hands-on opportunities to build STEM skills, solve problems, work as a team and explore future educational and career pathways.
We’re excited about what this investment can mean for our students — and we appreciate the Daily Journal helping us share the story with our community!

🚌 Keeping Our Warriors Safe — Every Mile of the Way
As we wrap up the week, there’s been a lot happening around transportation and bus safety at Clark-Pleasant!
This week, our schools completed their bus evacuation drills, giving students an opportunity to practice what to do in the unlikely event of an emergency while riding the bus.
On Thursday, our newest school buses also underwent their Indiana State Police inspections as they prepare to join our transportation fleet. This year, Clark-Pleasant is adding five new Blue Bird conventional buses — two full-size special needs buses and three general education buses.
These new buses are part of the district’s long-term **bus replacement plan**, funded through the Operations Fund. Buses are planned and budgeted for years in advance so we can routinely rotate our fleet and help ensure the buses transporting our students are safe, reliable and in good working condition.
From practicing emergency procedures with our students to planning ahead for the replacement of our fleet, bus safety is something we take seriously at Clark-Pleasant.
Every school day, our transportation team is responsible for some very important passengers — our Warriors. 🧡💙

On this National Day of Service and Remembrance, we honor the lives lost on 9/11 .
💙🧡 The Everyday Moments Are Pretty Special, Too
There wasn’t a special event happening at Ray Crowe Elementary today. No assembly. No celebration. Just a regular Thursday of learning — and that was worth stopping to notice.
In Ms. Brown’s STEM class, students were busy making gak when one student was overheard saying:
“This is why I love STEM class — we get to do science experiments!” 🧪
Meanwhile, kindergarteners in Mrs. Buller’s class were learning all about apples. 🍎 They practiced their writing and then got their bodies moving, using pool noodles to “make an apple pie.”
These may seem like little moments, but they're really not.
Every day across Clark-Pleasant, students are experimenting, writing, moving, creating, laughing, asking questions and discovering something new.
There doesn’t have to be a special occasion to find something special happening in our schools. Sometimes, it’s simply an ordinary Thursday. 💙🧡

💙🧡 MEET OUR AMBASSADORS: PAM BLACK
We told you we'd be introducing you to the members of our 2026–27 Clark-Pleasant Ambassador Academy throughout the year—and we're kicking things off with Pam Black!
Pam and her husband have called Johnson County home for 20 years and have two boys, ages 13 and 11. She has also spent the past 20 years as an elementary teacher and currently teaches at Center Grove Montessori. Her connection to Clark-Pleasant comes as the parent of an eighth grader at Clark-Pleasant Middle School.
So, why Ambassador Academy?
Pam joined because she wants to go beyond what we see on the surface and better understand how a school corporation as large as Clark-Pleasant actually works—from how district-level decisions are made to the many moving pieces involved in making big changes happen.
One thing Pam already appreciates about Clark-Pleasant is the priority placed on school safety.
"The transition from a very small Montessori school to a large district gave me a lot of anxiety as a parent, but seeing how safety is prioritized eased my worries."
That made our first Ambassador Academy session especially fitting! Our ambassadors spent the evening learning more about the Clark-Pleasant Police Department, visiting our Real-Time Information Center and getting a behind-the-scenes look at some of the systems and people working to keep our schools safe.
And there's much more to Pam than being an educator and CPMS parent! She loves camping, nature walks, chickens, playing the piano and being crafty. She also serves as president of Piper's Purpose, a local nonprofit that supports medical professionals who work with families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss.
We are so glad Pam chose to spend this year learning alongside us, asking questions and getting an inside look at Clark-Pleasant!
👋 Welcome to Ambassador Academy, Pam!

"The transition from a very small Montessori school to a large district gave me a lot of anxiety as a parent, but seeing how safety is prioritized eased my worries."
That made our first Ambassador Academy session especially fitting! Our ambassadors spent the evening learning more about the Clark-Pleasant Police Department, visiting our Real-Time Information Center and getting a behind-the-scenes look at some of the systems and people working to keep our schools safe.
And there's much more to Pam than being an educator and CPMS parent! She loves camping, nature walks, chickens, playing the piano and being crafty. She also serves as president of Piper's Purpose, a local nonprofit that supports medical professionals who work with families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss.
We are so glad Pam chose to spend this year learning alongside us, asking questions and getting an inside look at Clark-Pleasant!
👋 Welcome to Ambassador Academy, Pam!

🏀 A Piece of Clark-Pleasant History Gets the Spotlight! 🧡💙
Sometimes it takes someone from outside our community to remind us just how special the places we see every day really are.
This summer, teacher and Indiana gym enthusiast Brett Yoder visited Clark Elementary as part of his Hoosier Gym Journey, a project documenting historic gyms across Indiana.
He came to see the old Clark Township gym, built in 1934 — but he left impressed by so much more.
In his article, Brett describes Clark Elementary as one of the most beautiful elementary schools he has seen in the state, writing about its towering ceilings, historic brickwork, natural light and the incredible way the building blends more than a century of history with a modern elementary school.
And then, of course, there’s the gym. 🏀
Once home to the Clark Township Lions, the gym still holds reminders of the generations who came before — from its wooden bleachers and original scorer's table to the historic memorabilia displayed nearby. The Lions even captured a sectional championship in 1953!
Perhaps our favorite part of the article, though, is Brett's reflection on what it means that students are still learning inside this historic building today. A child can walk through the same doors to receive an education that their great-great-grandparents may have walked through more than 100 years ago.
That really is something special. ❤️
Thank you, Brett, for visiting Clark Elementary, capturing these beautiful photos and sharing a little piece of Clark-Pleasant history with people across Indiana!
