Fall Fest Fun at Pleasant Crossing!
What an incredible evening at Pleasant Crossing Elementary’s Fall Fest! Our courtyard was full of laughter, smiles, and all things fall fun — from face painting and games to pumpkin decorating and storytime with special guest readers (including Dr. Edsell himself!).
A huge thank-you to our amazing PCES PTO for hosting such a wonderful event, to Fresh Thyme, Kelsay Farms, and Taylor Farms for their generous donations, and to the National Honor Society students who volunteered their time to make the night a success.
We also loved seeing families enjoy our book fair grand opening, grab cozy blankets from Redeemer Bible Church, and fill up bags of food thanks to the caring donations of our staff.
It truly takes a village — and we’re so grateful for ours at Pleasant Crossing!

Good morning everyone and welcome back from what was hopefully a restful Fall Break for you!
I am thrilled to announce that the Marching Warriors had some wonderful performances over Fall Break.
On Oct 11th we hosted the ISSMA Scholastic Prelims/Open Invitational in which the Marching Warriors performed and earned a GOLD rating "With Distinction" in Music, Visual, and General Effect.

Bullying is never acceptable. This month, we renew our focus on prevention, education, and intervention across all our schools. We encourage our entire community—students, staff, and families—to take an active role:
Speak Up: Be an Upstander, not a bystander. Report bullying immediately to a teacher, counselor, or administrator.
Be Kind: Choose empathy, inclusion, and compassion every day.
Reach Out: If you or someone you know needs support, please utilize the resources available at your school.
Let's work together to ensure that every student at CPCSC is treated with dignity and respect.

Celebrating Diverse Learners: National Learning Disabilities Month
October is National Learning Disabilities (LD) Month, a time to raise awareness and promote understanding of the challenges and strengths of students with learning disabilities.
At Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation (CPCSC), we believe every student has unique talents and the potential to succeed. LD is not a reflection of intelligence; it simply means a student learns differently.
This month, we celebrate the determination, creativity, and success of our diverse learners and commit to fostering inclusive environments where every student receives the individualized support they need to thrive.
Let's work together to shine a light on LD and champion all our students!
