May Band Camp!
The 130 Members strong of the 2024 WCHS Marching Band had no problem with heat and bright sunshine Friday as they start working on the upcoming season and prepare for their 2024 show titled "Black Orchid". Hats off to these dedicated musicians and their leaders.

"Inspiring Women," was the theme for the 2nd annual District Literacy Contest. It was open to students from Pre-K to 12th grade. The top three winners from each division were recognized with certificates and prizes, at the May school board meeting. The first-place winners in each category received a $100 cash prize. Additionally, an Editor's Choice Award was given with the selected student receiving $50 and their school was honored with the District Literacy Champions trophy.
Ms. Butler was the recipient of this year's CPEF Fine Arts grant. Thanks to this grant, she was able to fund the awards and prizes for the students and schools participating in the contest.

Rising Up!
The future home of the Whiteland Warriors is rising out of the ground as today steelworkers began placing the three-story high steel beams into the cement pad of the new school building. The square notches in the beams indicate where each floor will go. This is just one-half of the pad that will be poured eventually. Also clearly visible today was the new elevator shaft and the area where the new swimming pool will be located. Once the steel goes up the 235-million dollar project will start moving rapidly.
Final Teacher Day!
Congratulations to our amazing Clark-Pleasant staff for completing yet another successful school year. Also congratulations to all of our retirees who were mentioned during this morning's annual final staff meeting in the WCHS auditorium. Have a great summer.

"They care deeply about our students and school community"
Mike Akers.
It is with much excitement that we share that Mrs. Amy Grady has announced her
retirement! While this is bittersweet news for the Break-O-Day family, we are so excited
to celebrate the amazing career of Mrs. Grady! She has taught at Break-O-Day for
her entire teaching career of 31 years!
Mrs. Grady will leave a lasting impact and legacy at BES! Students look back on
their time in her classroom with fond memories, fun stories, and life-long relationships!
Many of our Break-O-Day parents were students in Mrs. Grady’s classroom! One of my
favorite stories Mrs. Grady has shared with our team is moving day into the new
Break-O-Day building. When this building was completed in 1995, Mrs. Grady was one
of the teachers who walked her students down the road from the old building carrying
their school supplies from their old desk to set up their new desks here in the new
building!
She has given so much to our school community and we are so happy for her! Please join us in many good wishes to celebrate Mrs. Amy Grady for 31 years of devoted service to our students, families, and staff! Congratulations and best wishes, Mrs. Grady!
What can we do when it feels like the world is weighing on us? For starters, we can find a support system, set boundaries with technology, get involved in advocacy, and learn healthy coping skills! Find more tools get you started here: mhanational.org/may #WhereToStart
Best Wishes!
CPELC Director, Kristin Parisi, got a surprise sendoff from her students and staff Wednesday. These pre-schoolers rehearsed and performed a song and dance for the departing principal. Mrs. Parisi has accepted a position closer to her home.
Retirement Celebration!
After 42 years on the job Food Services employee, Sue Shrum is saying so long to students and staff. Several attended a retirement celebration for Sue at Pleasant Crossing on Wednesday. It was obvious she's made a lot of friends during her career.
