Second Place Finish for Whiteland FFA!

Serving Summer Smiles! Three Clark-Pleasant Schools are serving free lunches Monday through Friday until July 14th. "Summer Servings", a USDA free summer lunch program was putting a lot of smiles on the faces of youngsters Wednesday here at Grassy Creek Elementary. Lunches are also being served at Pleasant Crossing and Break-O-Day elementary schools. The meals are free for anyone under 18. For those 18 and older who wish to eat the cost is just $2 dollars. The meals, which meet nutritional guidelines, must be eaten on site.

Active Shooter/Killer Training! This is ONLY A DRILL but it looked all too real. Officers from multiple Johnson County agencies along with teachers and administrators participated in a life-like training scenario Tuesday. It took place in the Whiteland Community High School North building. Participants volunteered to be victims but the officers, paramedics, firefighters and other first responders were all public safety officers. Clark-Pleasant police chief, Chad Pryce, organized the day and a half event which included a table top training exercise. "We train for this hoping it never happens", said Pryce. "The fact that these school and public safety officials volunteer to participate shows their dedication to the safety and protection of our students and staff". Staff members from several school districts also participated including Center Grove, Warren and Franklin Central and Greenwood.

Whiteland FFA Ranks in the Top 10 in Indiana! Whiteland FFA was recently named a "Big 10" Chapter by the Indiana FFA Association for 2023. Indiana FFA Chapters are ranked using National FFA's "National Chapter Program". Chapters are evaluated in 3 areas; Growing Leaders, Building Communities, and Strengthening Agriculture. Chapters must submit their yearly Program of Activities and demonstrate that they promote these 3 areas in order to be eligible for these awards. They are then ranked on the effectiveness of their chapter's activities in their communities. Chapters are ranked either Bronze, Silver, or Gold. "Gold" Chapters are then further evaluated and the top 10 chapters across the state are named "Big 10". Being named a "Big 10" Chapter is an honor, as there are 220 FFA Chapters in Indiana. The FFA Chapter will receive awards for this accomplishment and be recognized at the 2023 Indiana FFA State Convention this summer. The chapter will also move on to the National level and receive a National ranking. CONGRATULATIONS!

School may be out but.... Dozens of Clark-Pleasant teachers and administrators were in the classroom Thursday learning from each other. They were discussing "best practices" when it comes to implementing The Warrior Way, in the most impactful way possible. Leaders from every school presented what they have found to make a difference when it comes to enhancing good behavior through the Warrior Way. It was an opportunity for educators to reflect on the practices and procedures of the Warrior Way and how to improve in it.

FEDS Notice Work of Whiteland Students! Research conducted by a class of Whiteland High School seniors appears to be catching the attention of federal officials. Teacher Justin Schwenk’s Dual Credit Government Course students presented their final recommendations and plans, this week, for an Emergency Response Plan to the Town of Whiteland. Students were tasked with the development of an Emergency Response Plan for the Town following the March 31st Tornado. They conducted initial research, needs assessments, innovated solutions to multiple common human and natural disasters, and analyzed how to implement plans. Working in groups and with local government mentors, students researched and defined Emergency Response Procedures for a municipality. Throughout the research phase, students were able to interact with and learn from authentic community leadership. Students presented their plans to a panel of local community stakeholders including members of the Whiteland Town Council, Chief of Police, Fire Department Chief, Whiteland Town Manager, Johnson County Emergency Management, and a FEMA director. “News of this project had attracted the attention of Federal emergency management administration and was being discussed by administration officials in Washington”, says teacher, Justin Schwenk. “They’re looking at it for its innovative approach and engagement of youth in this public policy arena”.

Greetings Clark-Pleasant Family, WCHS students in the Spnaish 4 and AP classes, along with some of the Spanish 3 students, were invited to take the National Spanish Examination this year. The students took the exam right before Spring Break. Here are the results from the 2023 NSE. Our school has students who earned a total of 1 gold, 2 silver and 3 bronze medals along with 16 honorable mentions. “Attaining a medal or honorable mention for any student on the National Spanish Examinations is very prestigious,” said Lisa Greenman, National Director of the Exams, “because the exams are the largest of their kind in the United States with nearly 85,000 students participating in 2023.” Students are scored based on three different categories: classroom experience, outside experience, and bilingual. The exam level is according to what year of the language they are in. The medals are based on percentile scores. For reference, here is the percentile breakdown: gold is 95th or higher, silver is 85th to 94th, bronze is 75th to 84th, and honorable mention is 50th to 74th. Congratulations to our Spanish students who attained national recognition for excellent performance on the 2023 National Spanish Examinations.
