Clay Elementary School -

We all know today is Valentine’s Day, but did you also know it’s National Random Acts of Kindness Week? Our students are engaged in a variety of daily activities to bring these important #EASDLifeReady lessons to life!

Meet A Mountaineer

Happy 100th day of school from our Kindergarten Mountaineers!

Meet A Mountaineer

Our Mountaineers created hundreds of valentines (500 from EMS alone) as part of the Blue Ridge Touch a Heart initiative. Students’ encouraging messages will be delivered to local nursing home residents and hospital patients, as well as Veterans and soldiers.

We love hearing from our students! Our Student Engagement Facilitators' ongoing efforts to increase student voice, engagement, and belonging recently included group discussions to learn what is going well and what more can be done to help students feel successful now and in the future.

Today five teams - out of 39 - presented K'Nex concepts to a panel of judges to determine who will move on in the competition. From predator detection, trash collection & more, students embodied #EASDLifeReady traits to build prototypes to positively impact the farming industry.

We love seeing so many Mountaineers enjoying their Snow Day. See any familiar faces? https://youtu.be/IDhATqOd2ik?si=pHLIrUaX7WYGJTnZ

Let's get to know our Mountaineer staff! FIRST UP...

The December school board reorganization meeting included District Justice Tony Russell administering the Oath of Office to newly elected and reelected officers. We welcome Jason Breckbill and thank all board members for their service to our students, staff and community.

Today, a group of elementary students are having a Thanksgiving feast. This activity encourages students with autism to practice social skills, communication, and functional life skills outside of the classroom. #MountsPride #EASDLifeReady

Clay Elementary School students recently completed a storytelling project that will teach their classmates about people and cultures from around the world. “It was a great team-building exercise…great collaboration,” shared Mr. Kyle Miller, Library Media Specialist. #BecomingEASD #MountsPride
