Clark-Pleasant Community School Corp.

The Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation School Board has been recognized by the Indiana School Boards Association (ISBA) with an Exemplary Governance Award (EGA) for calendar year 2024 for demonstrating an outstanding commitment to student success and professional learning. Only 124 school boards in the State of Indiana earned awards through the EGA program this year. The awards are conferred annually across four levels of distinction based on the points earned by school board members for attending ISBA seminars, workshops, conferences, and other learning events, as well as the completion of certain additional criteria, such as a retreat with an outside facilitator and goal setting to elevate student achievement outcomes. “On behalf of ISBA, I would like to commend this most exceptional group of school boards and school board members,” said ISBA Executive Director Terry Spradlin. “School boards perform a vital public service for their communities, and board members who actively participate in professional learning are better equipped to govern effectively and meet the needs of students.” Award recipients were formally recognized at ISBA’s Spring Regional Meetings during the month of May. In addition to the board-level accolades, 239 school board members earned individual EGA awards. ISBA provides a full range of professional learning opportunities at dozens of events throughout the year to inform and educate school board members about best practices, legislative issues, policy development, school law, and more. For a complete list of individual and board award recipients for the 2024 award year, please visit https://www.isba-ind.org/ega.html.

A publishing picnic recently took place at Pleasant Crossing Elementary School. Fourth-grade students, accompanied by two invited guests each, spread out blankets and enjoyed a sunny picnic, featuring delicious donations from Crumbl Cookies. Mrs. Jaida Fishback, a fourth-grade writing teacher at Pleasant Crossing Elementary, received a grant that benefits all students at the school. The Clark-Pleasant Education Foundation applied for and successfully received this grant through DonorsChoose.org as part of a Classroom Resource Grants educational initiative. The additional resources from this grant will enhance and support educational opportunities within our writing classrooms. Every writing teacher collaborates with their students to create a book that allows them to express their ideas creatively. This project culminates in a family picnic at the end of the year. Mrs. Fishback has expressed her goal of making this activity bigger and better each year, and so far, that seems to be happening..
