National School Bus Driver Appreciation Day in 2025 is on the fourth Tuesday, April 22nd.
Why it's celebrated: This day is an opportunity to recognize the crucial work of school bus drivers in safely transporting students to and from school.
How it began: The day was established in 1981 to recognize the men and women who transport children to school safely. Here's a special thanks from Dr. Edsell. "A very special thank you to each and every bus driver for Clark-Pleasant Community Schools! Your adherence to safe driving practices, bus safety routines, and caring for the students who ride your bus is so appreciated! We absolutely have the best drivers!".
THANK YOU to all of our CPCSC school bus drivers for all you do.

A Night of One Acts!
We are excited to invite you to our highly anticipated spring production on May 2nd at 7 PM in the WCHS cafeteria.

I am honored to direct "Whispers," a drama about the significance of community during the grieving process, written by Kendra Thomas and performed by our talented Theatre Arts classes. We are also pleased to announce that this event will mark Craig Patterson's directorial debut at WCHS with "Fortunes Read $1," a comedy about a quirky fortune teller, written by Kamron Klitgaard and performed by our gifted Theatre Club.
This unique event promises to be an evening full of captivating entertainment that you won’t want to miss. As a token of our appreciation for your support, we are happy to offer complimentary entry to all staff members. We look forward to celebrating the arts with you!
