ART CLUB FIELD TRIP RECAP!
Our Art Club creators took a deep dive into the world of texture, color, and sensory art today at the Rainbow Slime Company!
From the moment we walked in, inspiration was everywhere. Our talented students got to:
Explore the Interactive Slime Exhibit: A total sensory playground filled with giant slime installations, satisfying ASMR stations, and vibrant, glowing colors. It was an incredible look at how art, science, and play connect!
Visit the Slime Lab: Every student stepped up to the creation station to design, mix, and customize their very own personal slime. From choosing the perfect scent and color palette to adding glitter and charms, they brought their unique artistic visions to life.
The best part? Everyone got to pack up their custom creations to take home! Let’s just say the bus ride back was very stretchy and colorful.
A huge thank you to Rainbow Slime Company for hosting us and inspiring our young artists to think outside the canvas. Check out some of our favorite moments from the day below!

Our FCCLA students had an incredible experience visiting the Ronald McDonald House Charities this week! ❤️🏠
After collecting pop tabs to support families staying at the house, students had the opportunity to donate them in person and tour the entire facility. Seeing firsthand how the house provides comfort, care, and a home-away-from-home for families with hospitalized children made this experience even more meaningful.
We are so proud of our students for giving back to the community and representing our school so well! #FCCLA #ServiceLeadership #RonaldMcDonaldHouse #CommunityMatters

The CMS Battle of the Books teams traveled to Emporia this past Friday to compete in the state competition.

During Teacher Appreciation Week, our staff added some extra fun with “secret underground spirit days” throughout the week! Students were curious and excited as teachers showed up participating in surprise themed days without any announcements. Staff members represented their grade levels with coordinated colors, got creative for “Anything But a Cup” day, stayed cozy during Pajama Day, traveled back in time for Throwback Thursday, and wrapped up the fun in athletic wear. The mystery and enthusiasm brought lots of smiles, laughter, and community spirit to our building all week long!
We are proud to honor Rhonda Rush as Clark Middle School’s Substitute Teacher of the Year! She was also chosen as the District Substitute Teacher of the Year! We have truly enjoyed having Rhonda in our building this school year.
Rhonda has been especially helpful while working in our Working Braves classroom. She consistently goes above and beyond to support both students and staff with patience, kindness, and flexibility. She builds positive relationships with students, creates a calm and encouraging environment, and is always willing to step in wherever she is needed. Her dedication, compassion, and strong work ethic have made a lasting impact on our school community, and we are so grateful for the care and support she provides.
