This week I can sense the excitement and enthusiasm of our faculty and staff. We are so ready to welcome back our Cardinals! When you come up to school for the Meet the Teacher Event or on the first day, you will see that we have been very busy people up here.:) In addition to our wonderful faculty and staff preparing our classrooms for engaged student learning, other folks have worked in front of and behind the scenes to improve our school even more. A special thanks to our custodial team for all of their hard work cleaning, waxing floors, touching up paint, and even more! A big thank you to Marybeth Gordon and Nancy Hallmark who, with the help of many middle and high school volunteers (some of whom were Clayton alumni), painted sections of our school as a part of our district wide Play60 grant. All around the Kinder playground and on the covered playslab, kids will be moving and grooving while also learning about nutrition and healthy habits. Please see below. Love it!!
Also, most of you will notice that the Early Childhood and Kindergarten playground has been enhanced with some additional shade sails. Thanks so much to the help of a parent volunteer and the financial support of the campus and PTA, we were able to make some additions in that area that will keep our Cardinals cooler when they go to play outside! I sincerely appreciate the help of Dave Robinett who spent time working on this project as well. Kids will be running around and having a great time in no time.
We're looking forward to seeing you soon! Enjoy the last couple days of summer. We're ready for a GREAT year! :)
