CC/E students donate to Ukraine

Clay Central/Everly Elementary students have been on a self-started mission to give.

CC/E preschool Class of 2022

Clay Central/Everly held its preschool graduation program last Thursday. The program started with parents and children enjoying a banana and donut breakfast in the lunchroom. The program then moved to the preschool classroom where teachers and students went through their typical daily routine to show the parents/guardians in attendance. Children then sang numerous songs for the audience before a story was read aloud. Following story time, the children and teachers led the way to the outdoor Nature Learning Center.

ROYAL MEMORIAL DAY: Two flags were given to honor soldiers who have passed this year. The flags were given in honor of David Yungbluth and Jim Johnson. Both flags were given to the brothers of these fallen soldiers, Terry Johnson and Buddy Yungbluth.

Here the children lined up for some frigid yet fun attempts at breaking the candy filled shark piñata. Once the pinata was empty, the crowd headed back inside for the actual graduation ceremony. Children were awarded different certificates noting their special qualities throughout the school year. Following the graduation ceremony, everyone headed back to the lunchroom for pizza and conversation before heading home.
