Our Clark-Pleasant Music Teachers and students were well represented at the Indiana Music Educators Association Conference in Ft. Wayne this past weekend. We had CPCSC students in the Indiana Junior All State Band, the IMEA Honor Choir (elementary and middle school), All State Choir, and the IMEA Honor Band. This is a huge accomplishment for our students. In addition, Paige Lundy (Ray Crowe) and Emily Arndt (Clark) presented sessions at the conference, Pete Sampson (WCHS) ran a Jazz Reading Session, Kendall Anvoots (CPMS) and David Phebus (Whiteland Elementary) chaperoned the honor choir, and Katy Briel (CPMS) coordinated the Junior All State Band and Abby Ellinger (CPMS) chaperoned.

Cool Art News!
Iris (Jackson) Cook, grade 12, won the Johnson County Public Library teen art contest for the 10th-12th grade category. Iris submitted a face mask sculpture entitled 'Iris in Bloom'.
Iris also had a ceramic slab box selected to be featured in a juried show in November at IU Bloomington. This piece was entitled "My Prison Box".
Iris was able to incorporate quite a bit of deeper meaning into the pieces and it's always cool seeing our students being able to be featured outside of school.
STATE BOUND!
With their sectional championship, Whiteland Girls Wrestling has qualified for team state on January 25! The Warriors will continue in the IHSAA State Tournament and then finish off the season in team duals looking for a title there as well.
