First Monday night rehearsal is in the books! 🎶

Our band kicked off its first Monday night rehearsal this week with plenty of hard work, teamwork, and creativity. And when you have instruments this cool, why not turn them into art, too? 🎨🎺🥁

We love seeing our students bring their creativity and personality to everything they do. Here’s to a great season ahead!

CMS students put their STEM skills to the test with a cup-stacking challenge! Students worked together to build towers using rubber band pulley tools to carefully move and arrange cups without touching them directly.

This hands-on activity challenged students to communicate, problem-solve, think creatively, and work as a team. Learning is even better when you can build it together! 🤝

What an incredible day of learning with Valentina Gonzalez during teacher inservice! 🎉 Our educators had the opportunity to learn from Valentina Gonzalez, a nationally recognized educator, author, and speaker who specializes in supporting multilingual learners and helping teachers create classrooms where every student can thrive.

We are grateful for the opportunity to invest in our teachers and continue growing together! Thank you, Valentina, for inspiring our educators and helping us build stronger, more inclusive learning experiences for every student! 💛 It's a great day to be a Red Tornado! 🌪️ #BuildingChampions #cpsreds

The Clinton Fire Department joined us at CHS this morning for a routine fire drill and training exercise, helping our students and staff practice what to do in an emergency. 🚒🧑‍🚒

And, of course, they brought along a very special guest: Tilly the Fire Dog! 🐶💛 Tilly is a school favorite and was happy to make her rounds while the drill was underway.

We appreciate our local firefighters for helping us keep our schools prepared and safe! 🌪️

A new school year is here, and today was a reminder of why we do what we do. 💛🌪️

Our Clinton Public Schools family gathered at the new CMS this morning for All-Staff Inservice to reconnect, reflect on our purpose, and prepare for the year ahead. We shared our "whys," celebrated with fun prize giveaways, and were reminded that every role in our district has the power to make a lasting difference in the life of a child.

A heartfelt thank you to the Clinton Public School Foundation for providing breakfast for our staff. Your generosity and support help make moments like these even more meaningful.

We can't wait to welcome our students back and begin another year of learning, growing, and building champions together. Here's to a year filled with purpose, hope, and countless opportunities to change lives.

It's a great day to be a Red Tornado! 🌪️
