CES 5TH Grade Cookout/In!
Clark Elementary's annual 5th-grade cookout on Friday featured hot dogs, chips, drinks, cookies, and gummies. Due to the weather, the hot dogs were prepared inside, but the students could still eat outside.
A living history museum was held at Clark Elementary on Friday. Names like; Mellencamp, Skylar, Sarah Fisher, Janet Jackson, Florence Henderson, and others were portrayed by these 4th graders. They got to tell students and families about these famous Hoosiers!

Whiteland Warrior Junior Football Registration!
CPCSC EMPLOYEES... Thank you! You are amazing and your generosity was recognized and awarded yesterday by the United Way of Johnson County. How awesome that OVER 50% of Clark Pleasant School Corporation Employees were contributors to the 2023 United Way Charitable Campaign!? It's incredible to have that kind of participation and you all made that happen! Looking forward to the 2024 Campaign.
Amazon Donation Day!
Wednesday was Amazon Donation Day at Whiteland Elementary. WES was selected for this incredible opportunity for our students and families. With parental permission, each student could pick out one item of their choice to bring home to the family. The goal for the day is to be able to provide students with access to pursue a generous heart. The “4 Good Community” organization believes it is just as special to give as to receive. It’s an opportunity for students to be generous to their families. Most of the items are Amazon items that have been returned to the company for various reasons but all are said to be in working order.
To our parent volunteers, you were incredible today. Thank you! 💙
2024 Girls Track & Field Sectional Champions!!!
Tuesday evening the girl's track and field team won their first-ever sectional title! Three individual titles were captured including Tori Jackson in the 800-meter run (a new sectional meet record) and Elnora Stevenson in the long jump and 200-meter dash (a new school record). We will likely have athletes competing in 15 of the possible 16 events at the Regional Meet next Tuesday (we have to wait for callbacks).
This has been a historic season for our girls as they have won the Johnson County Championship, Mid-State Conference Championship, and Sectional Championship.
Go, Warriors!
