🤖 Warriors Take the State Stage!
Our Clark-Pleasant Middle School VEX Robotics Team 26059B recently competed at the Indiana State Robotics Championship at Lucas Oil Stadium — the largest State Robotics Championship in the world!
Facing 100 of the top robotics teams in Indiana, our Warriors delivered their most consistent performance of the entire season, finishing 64th overall. While they weren’t able to advance to the finals this time, the experience of competing on such a big stage was incredible for our students.
Even more impressive, this team also earned a Sportsmanship Award earlier this season, a reflection of what makes Clark-Pleasant special:
✔ Student-Centered
✔ High Expectations
✔ Trusting Relationships
We are incredibly proud of these students for representing CPMS and the Warrior Family with innovation, teamwork, and integrity. Experiences like this show how our students are preparing for the future through STEM, problem-solving, and collaboration.
📸 Thank you to Julia Cascella-Tinkle for sharing photos from the State competition!
Way to go, Warriors! 💙🧡

🩺 National Athletic Training Month Spotlight
All month long we’re highlighting the incredible professionals who help keep our Warriors healthy, safe, and competing at their best.
Today we’re recognizing Dr. Kalynn Condrey, the first full-time athletic trainer at Clark-Pleasant Middle School.
Education
🎓 B.A. Athletic Training – Anderson University
🎓 Doctorate of Athletic Training – Indiana State University
Kalynn joined the Clark-Pleasant athletic training staff in July 2024 and has quickly made an impact supporting our middle school athletes.
She says athletic training was the perfect fit because it combines her passions for healthcare and athletics.
“I enjoy helping middle school students with injuries and life while watching them grow from 6th grade through 8th grade.”
Kalynn says one of the things she appreciates most about working in Clark-Pleasant is the supportive culture.
“I feel support from the district, administration, coaches, students, and families. Our athletic training staff is a team that supports each other.”
Favorite Memory This Year
🏀 Watching the 8th grade girls basketball team win the county championship for the first time in recent history.
Outside of school, Kalynn enjoys reading and playing the piano.
Thank you for the care and dedication you bring to our middle school athletes, Dr. Condrey! 💙🧡

Friday, January 30, Clark-Pleasant Schools will once again operate on a 2-Hour Delay
It’s been one of those weeks — full of snow days, two-hour delays, and a whole lot of flexibility. As we head into Friday, January 30, Clark-Pleasant Schools will once again operate on a 2-Hour Delay.
Thank you to our families for your patience, our students for rolling with the changes, and our incredible staff for adapting day after day to keep learning moving forward. A special shout-out to our maintenance, grounds, transportation, and custodial teams who’ve been working around the clock to keep our buildings, parking lots, and buses safe in tough winter conditions.
Here’s to a smooth, safe end to the week — and maybe a little less snow in the forecast ahead. Stay warm and have a great Friday, Warrior family!

Through this fellowship, Stacey will bring her learning and inspiration back to our students, families, and community — continuing her passion for advocating for libraries and the role they play in our lives.
