Clark Weekly News
Week ending 1/23/26
Please take note!
Important Date- Friday, February 27th ALL Juniors will be taking the ACT at Clark in place of Flight School. This begins at 8:00 am. More details on how to prepare your laptop, etc. will be coming in early February.
Seeds for Changes- Clark senior, Vera Howe, has created a non-profit to partner with House of Hope to help address issues of food insecurity locally. This will also have a focus on the agricultural aspects. Join a tour on Feb. 5 to learn more and tour the Growing Hope Farm in Palm City.
Students in grades 9-11 who are NOT returning to Clark next year need to email kfarias1@irsc.edu so we know how many spaces will be available for new students. There is a process for transfer, so make sure you let us know sooner than later.
Our first book discussion group was great! We had 5 staff and about a dozen students read the book. We will be sending a survey next week to choose the next book and hope to have many more students join the discussion!
Students- make sure you are adding your service hours to FOCUS soon after earning them. Do not wait until senior year as your transcript will not show all of your dedication when you need it. It is YOUR responsibility to ensure these are in FOCUS.
Student front desk volunteers still needed
See or email Mrs. Whelpley to sign up for this great volunteer opportunity to help the school while earning service hours. Block 2 Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays- Block 2 and all blocks Friday
Online Payments now available for Clark items. Please note that all transactions do carry a 2.85% convenience fee. QR code to scan and pay is here.
All students encouraged to attend the upcoming special event on Wednesday, Feb. 4, The Power of Ordinary People- Students will learn about the roles of ordinary people as both ‘bystanders’ and ‘upstanders’ in the Holocaust, understand the dangers of propaganda and manipulation, discover the stories of upstanders, and reflect on how to combat prejudice and make positive choices. Through immersive technology and MMOT educator-guided workshops, supported by school staff, students engage in dialogue that fosters media literacy and critical thinking skills. You can find out more information about the MMOT at their website (mmot.com).
