Second Place Finish for Whiteland FFA!

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.

In Recess! Schools out for summer! Clark-Pleasant Teachers said goodbye to each other today. A few retirees also had a chance to say a few words as everyone enjoyed coffee and donuts on this last day of school for teachers.

Mental Health Month 2023 Spending time in nature is linked to many positive mental health outcomes, including improved focus, lower stress, better mood, reduced risk of developing mental health conditions, and a sense of connection to yourself, community, and purpose. Being around nature doesn’t have to mean hiking in a forest. It can be walking in a park, bringing a plant inside, or sitting in your backyard.

Mental Health Month 2023 You matter. During Mental Health Awareness Month and beyond, support is a text, call, or chat away. Talk to us 24/7. @988lifeline

Free Summer Meals! Another school year is wrapping up, and we want to remind you that Clark-Pleasant Food Service will be serving lunch during summer break! Please see the attached flyer for locations, dates, and times. See you there! #nourishingexcellence.

Whiteland Girls Basketball Camp!

Blue Jeans Ball! One week from today is our Annual Blue Jeans Ball! I can't wait to see all of you. Let's take a minute to send out a big "Thank You " to this year's dinner table sponsors!

Mental Health Month 2023 Having safe, stable, and healthy home conditions set the foundation for achieving and maintaining good mental health. For many people, not having a true “home base” to consistently return to can leave them feeling distressed, disconnected, or isolated. Wherever you call “home,” it should give you feelings of comfort, support, and calmness. If not, there are things you can do to your space to help you be more productive, reach your goals, and improve your mental health. #Lookaround #Lookwithin #MentalHealthMonth

They Put Smiles on Students' Faces! It’s SCHOOL LUNCH HERO DAY, a time to celebrate our Clark-Pleasant Food Services workers who put smiles on student faces Monday through Friday. You might have noticed some extra balloons and “hero” t-shirts in some of our lunchrooms today. We would like to thank our food service staff for their dedication to feeding our students a healthy lunch each school day. "We have about 70 employees who are hard-working and who really care about the students", says Food Services Director, Kim Combs. "We want meals to be healthy and delicious and eaten in an enjoyable atmosphere each and every day". School Lunch Hero Day is held annually on the first Friday in May in honor of each person responsible for providing lunches (and food) to millions of school children across America.
