Let's hear from Barb Rhoades!

2,826 Iowans are homeless on any single night this year.
Homelessness and hunger are problems in Clinton County right NOW.
Let's come together to give to those in need.

Sharing from Jefferson Elementary's Facebook page:
Not just a bunch of cubes… but work inspired by the artist Thank YouX, as well as the work our Synergy students at CHS have accomplished with their murals around Clinton. A lot of noteworthy information in regards to the creation of the work, but two parts really stand out. "1) Each student in 1st - 5th grades got two blank cubes, leaving one part of the picture white they colored the other sides. 2) The cubes are pieces of themselves, each piece unique just like them and when put together the uniqueness of each cube is what makes the art piece special." Thank you to Mrs. Davin for working with the Jefferson students in creating work that will be displayed outside the art room! Can’t wait for what is next!"

Isaiah Holmes, Lauren Kruse and Isabella Stoll were chosen to represent Clinton High School at the 2022 ICCA Honor Squad. They were selected based on cheer skills, leadership qualities and academics. This year, 171 athletes applied for the stunt portion of the performance, only 80 were selected and our 3 cheerleaders were included in the 80! We are so proud of them!
After 3 practice sessions, the Honor Squad performed at the halftimes of the 2A and 3A State Championship games on Nov. 18 at the UNI Dome.
