CPCSC EMPLOYEES... Thank you! You are amazing and your generosity was recognized and awarded yesterday by the United Way of Johnson County.

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.

Dissection Day!
They can be slimy and smelly, but kids in Mrs. Evans' 6th grade Science class love exploring earthworms. These invertebrates are great for dissections and provide an opportunity to teach comparative anatomy and the digestive system. The nerves at the beginning of the dissection always lead to excitement upon completion. One student even expressed interest in becoming a Science teacher!

Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, proudly recognized by Clark
Pleasant Community Schools, provides a wonderful opportunity for our community to
celebrate the diverse experiences and contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific
Islanders to American society. This month-long celebration, established in 1990 by
President George H. W. Bush, encourages us to honor their resilience, achievements,
and rich cultural heritage.
Here are ways families can commemorate this special month:
- Explore Asian American and Pacific Islander history through books, documentaries, or
online resources.
- Attend local cultural events or virtual celebrations that showcase Asian American and
Pacific Islander traditions, art, and music.
- Try new foods by cooking traditional Asian American and Pacific Islander recipes at
home or dining at local restaurants specializing in these cuisines.
- Share stories, traditions, and experiences from Asian American and Pacific Islander
cultures with family and friends.
- Support local businesses owned by members of Asian American and Pacific Islander
communities.
Let’s come together as a community to celebrate diversity and promote greater
understanding and appreciation for the multicultural tapestry of America.
