The end of the semester always marks the time for testing and assessments. This has been true for Clay Central/Everly Elementary students the last couple of weeks as they have been hard at work completing their winter testing.

Students were rewarded for their diligence and perseverance with a little outdoor fun. The mild Iowa winter temperatures and recent abundance of snow helped make it a good time.

Last week the Clay County Conservation Board brought the students each a pair of snowshoes, allowing them to tour the Royal countryside and school grounds. Students and teachers were able to get in some adventurous outdoor play and a healthy workout, all mixed with much laughter.
