Yesterday, Clever School District hosted a Special Olympics track meet, and it was an amazing event! Nine area schools participated in events including shotput, javelin throwing, relay races, and many more. The spirit and joy of the event was evident on the faces of athletes, organizers, and spectators. We are #bluejayproud of our Clever participants and all the athletes.
A huge shoutout as well to the Clever Police Department and First Responders! Besides being there to handle any potential emergencies, they were on hand to present the awards to the athletes. We are so grateful and suspect by the smiles on their faces, they enjoyed it as well.
This full-day event takes a tremendous amount of planning and logistical maneuvering. Our sponsors, admin, faculty and students worked countless hours to make sure this day was a success, and their efforts were rewarded by the smiles everywhere.
In particular, our Leadership Class worked extremely hard planning and executing the entire event. These students are to be commended on a job very well done! Clever Special Services Director Lyle Barber commented "Our student leadership team was phenomenal!"
Thank you to everyone who worked to make this event happen. It was a good day to be a Bluejay! #bluejaystrong

Ever wonder what goes on during teacher workdays? The answer is "lots of things!" Yesterday, teachers met in Impact Teams which focus on realizing where students currently are and utilizing instructional strategies to move them to the next level. They also met in Leader In Me lighthouse groups to plan ways to implement the Leader in Me habits. Some of our teachers also heard motivational speaker Alex Demczak's message. Alex is a former SEC quarterback for the Missouri Tigers. He is also an inspiring communicator who challenges organizations to maximize their potential and make a difference. He spoke to our teachers about the power of positive of leadership and the power of a positive team.
As you can see, teacher workdays are packed full of meetings and activities we use to help move Clever Schools forward and remain #bluejaystrong!
