Constitution Day
RCE 2nd Grade read about the Constitution and brainstormed ways to be a good citizen. Each student designed a handprint and wrote on it 1 way they could be a good citizen. We put the handprints together to form wings for our 2nd grade American Eagle display.

STEMVersity!
Keeping Kids Curious is the goal of STEMVersity. Ray Crowe STEM Teacher, Briona Brown hosts the bi-weekly student group which explores the four prong STEM concepts of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.
"STEMversity is furthering the joy of STEM to younger students", says Ms. Brown. "The program is great in treating the students involved as proper little scientists, so much so that rather than refer to them as students they call them scholars and inform the kids that while students are forced to go to school, scholars choose to go to school to further their education". Ms. Brown says the students get to come in, be greeted as scholars and then they "dress for success" by putting on their lab coats, goggles, and lanyards. She says in just the two weeks that we have been doing this I've seen a kindergartener that has been quite reserved and quiet so far this year, get super engaged and always has his hand up to answer questions and in answering them he uses a loud projected voice. It is clear that he feels both seen and heard. Ms. Brown thinks that aspect is probably most important.
We caught up with the after school group on Thursday as they participated in lessons on aerodynamics, drag and force. The STEMVersity professors help students learn everything from definitions to hands on experiments like trying to use air to keep balloons aloft. The kindergarten through second graders seem to really enjoy this great learning opportunity which can make challenging concepts much more fun.
Dear Clark-Pleasant Families,
We would like to make you aware that a total solar eclipse will take place April 8, 2024. This eclipse will reach across 16 states but will be most prominent in Central Indiana, especially in Johnson County. Therefore like many nearby school districts, we are making plans for a synchronous E-Learning Day on 04/08/2024. We are making this decision out of an abundance of caution as the eclipse will take place in Indiana for over several hours. Additionally, we are being told by local emergency management officials that there will be a significant influx of visitors coming to our county during this time period creating major concerns with transportation and congestion.
The Butler University astronomy department projects the partial eclipse will begin in Indianapolis around 1:50 pm and that the total solar eclipse will occur at 3:06 pm and end at 3:09 pm. The partial eclipse will end at 4:23 pm.
While learning will continue online for this day it will be a great educational opportunity for our students to learn more about the solar system. We will provide more information as the date approaches but if you have any questions please feel free to reach out to your respective school building administrators. For more information on the path and viewing times of the eclipse please click on the link below.
