We love celebrating our teachers who go the extra mile to create exciting opportunities for our students! Jaida Fishback from Pleasant Crossing Elementary was recognized as a recipient of a $500 Indiana Retired Teachers Association Foundation (IRTAF) Active Teacher Grant! 👏
Jaida's project, "From Readers to Writers: Inspiring Young Authors Through an Author Visit," will help bring children's author Shannon Anderson to Pleasant Crossing for an engaging literacy experience!
Students will have the opportunity to meet a published author, learn about her writing journey and discover how their own ideas can become stories. The grant will also help purchase books for students and classrooms, extending the learning long after the visit. 📖
🧡 And here's something else worth celebrating!
Each week, our Assistant Superintendent, Dr. Shipp, shares a weekly update with staff that includes professional resources, important information and opportunities like this one. We are grateful for her commitment to keeping our educators informed and connected to opportunities that benefit our schools.
But sharing opportunities is only half the story. It takes dedicated teachers willing to take the initiative, apply and turn those opportunities into something special for students!
Thank you, Jaida, for doing just that! And thank you to the Indiana Retired Teachers Association Foundation for investing in our educators and students.
Great things happen when opportunity meets initiative! 🧡💙

That’s how much time our students at Pleasant Crossing Elementary spent reading—and it earned them 2nd place in the state in the Read to the Final Four “Rising Readers” competition! 🏀
This isn’t just about a contest…
It’s about building lifelong readers, creating daily habits, and showing our students that reading can be both fun and powerful.

We are proud to introduce our next Ambassador Academy member, Sarah Richardson, from our second class of ambassadors! 💙
Sarah and her husband Chris are proud parents of two young Warriors, ages 9 and 5, who attend Pleasant Crossing Elementary School. With one son in PreK and the other in 3rd grade, their family is fully immersed in the early years of the Clark-Pleasant experience.
Sarah is also a dedicated leader in our school community, serving as PTO President at Pleasant Crossing Elementary for the second year in a row. Through her leadership and involvement, she plays a key role in supporting students, staff, and fellow families.
When they’re not cheering on their boys at baseball, basketball, or football games, the Richardson family enjoys spending quality time together with family and friends.
We are so grateful to have Sarah as part of this incredible group of community champions who are helping us strengthen connections and create even more opportunities for our students.
