👤 Meet Your CPCSC Ambassador: Margot Sheets
Margot Sheets has called Whiteland home for nearly two decades. She works as a Nurse Practitioner with the hospitalist group at Hendricks Regional Health, and her connection to Clark-Pleasant runs even deeper — all four of her children have gone through our schools.
“I love this community and am so grateful to serve as an ambassador for the school system.”
As a parent, professional, and long-time resident, Margot brings valuable perspective to the Ambassador Academy and helps strengthen the connection between our schools and the community we serve.
We’re thankful for community partners like Margot who are committed to supporting students and sharing the story of Clark-Pleasant. 💙

🏀📚 Clark-Pleasant Class is Dancing into the Elite Eight! 📚🏀
March Madness isn’t just happening on the court, it’s happening in our classrooms too!
Mrs. Debbie Campbell’s 3rd grade class at Ray Crowe Elementary is officially headed to the Elite Eight in the Indiana K-12 March Madness Bracket Challenge! This statewide competition, hosted by Indiana Sports Corp in partnership with the NCAA, invites teachers to bring the excitement of basketball into learning, and our students are all in.
Mrs. Campbell signed her class up back in November, and the experience has already been a slam dunk! The students have:
📦 Received multiple boxes of prizes
📚 Each student received Scholastic books
✏️ Colored pencil kits and supply pouches
😎 Read to the Final Four pencils, erasers, sunglasses, and slap bracelets
🧠 Used the bracket to support math, prediction, and classroom engagement activities
The kids were especially excited to receive their new books this morning!
Now the pressure is on they only have one more school to beat to make the Final Four! If they advance, the class could even earn a FREE field trip!
We love seeing our teachers find creative ways to connect learning with real-world excitement, and what better way in Indiana than basketball season?
Let’s cheer on our Ray Crowe students as they continue their tournament run!
👏 Good luck, Warriors! We’re rooting for you!

📈💼 Learning to Invest in Their Future 💼📈
Students in the WCHS Investment Club are already taking important steps toward financial independence. This student-led organization, with nearly 40 members, meets monthly during FIT to explore the fundamentals of investing and long-term financial planning. Through hands-on activities and guest speakers from the financial industry, students are gaining real-world skills they can carry with them long after graduation.
This year, every club member received a free club t-shirt thanks to the generosity of our community partners. We would like to thank:
👏 JCBank — as part of their Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation partnership sponsorship
👏 Ron Wallman
👏 Hoop Editz
Partnerships like these help us provide meaningful opportunities for students to learn beyond the classroom and connect their education to real life. We are grateful for the businesses and community members who continue to invest in our students and our schools.
Club President (2025–2026): Aiden Vargo
Teacher Sponsor: Christa Rinehold
Thank you for helping prepare our students for bright futures!

It is National FFA Week. CPCSC recognizes the leadership development, service, and agricultural education opportunities provided through our FFA programs.
Last night our Clark-Pleasant Ambassador Academy got a behind-the-scenes look at something every student experiences every day… FOOD! 🍎🥕🥛
Our Ambassadors heard from Lauren Jones, Director of Food Services, who walked them through everything it takes to feed our students — and it is far more complex than most people realize.
Across all 8 schools, our food service team:
• Serves breakfast and lunch district-wide
• Provides snacks for Honey Grove after-school care
• Operates with 8 managers, 3 assistant managers, and roughly 55–60 additional staff members
• Follows strict USDA nutrition guidelines for sodium, whole grains, calories, and vegetable variety
• Accommodates food allergies and dietary needs
• Works to honor the cultural preferences of our growing community
And the numbers are incredible…
Last school year alone, Clark-Pleasant served 1,147,842 meals — that’s over 1.1 MILLION meals to our students! 💙🧡
(333,391 breakfasts and 814,461 lunches!)
Food Services is also a fully self-funded department, operating entirely through meal purchases and federal reimbursement — not local tax dollars.
Our Ambassadors also learned about new technology being implemented this year. The new finger-scan point-of-sale system identifies students in under a second, prevents incorrect charges, and allows families to track purchases and payments more easily through Skyward.
Of course… learning about school meals wouldn’t be complete without experiencing it!
The group went through the cafeteria line and enjoyed a real student meal — burrito bowls — before touring the brand-new WCHS cafeteria space opening this July.
It was a great night learning just how much planning, regulation, and care goes into making sure our students are fed every single day. We are grateful to Lauren Jones and the entire Clark-Pleasant Food Service team for the work they do to support student success.

Grants in Action! 🔬✨
While learning about the properties of light — reflection, refraction, and diffraction — students in Mrs. Evans’ class had the opportunity to put their knowledge to the test through a beam-bending logic challenge.
Thanks to a grant Mrs. Evans received through Endress+Hauser, she was able to purchase an engaging hands-on learning tool: Reasoning Laser Maze Games. Students worked through a series of challenges that required critical thinking and problem-solving as they manipulated light paths using mirrors and obstacles.
The kids absolutely loved it and truly rose to the challenge!
Thank you to Endress+Hauser for being a great community partner and for investing in meaningful learning experiences for our students.

Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day. Across CPCSC, simple acts of kindness help support a positive and respectful school environment.
In observance of President’s Day, CPCSC recognizes the leadership and civic values that are part of our nation’s history and education.
Sometimes the best days in a school building come from the smallest leaders. 💙
Recently, 3rd grader Elana VanDeman spent the day at Clark Elementary as Assistant Principal for the Day!
Interested in a future in education, Elana met with principal Dr. Sloan to ask questions about his job — and he didn’t just talk about it… he put her to work! She received her own staff lanyard and even helped with PM bus duty.
Dr. Sloan shared, “Favorite part of my day… Elana’s curiosity and excitement about education. Make their day!”
It’s the little moments like this that mean the most and remind our administrators why they chose education.
We can’t wait to see where Elana’s dreams take her! 🍎✨

Our students cooked up some love this week ❤️🚒
WCHS Nutrition Science Pathway students visited the Whiteland Fire Department and served the crew a full Italian meal — tortellini soup, Caesar salad with homemade dressing, and tiramisu! They even got to see the firefighters head out on a call and come back to a hot meal waiting.
Proud of our students for giving back to the people who take care of our community every day.
