The Title 1 Committee hosted a family literacy night called Bingo for Books. Students and their families enjoyed light refreshments and playing games of bingo together. All students left this event with at least one new Scholastic book. The goal of this event was to encourage families to make reading a daily and enjoyable habit.
Clays Mill congratulates Mr. Nunn and Mr. Daniel for receiving the Teacher of the Year and the Excellence in Service awards, respectively.
In the last several weeks, students enjoyed observing the "LIVE" critters that were living in the library. They experienced ants working to make their tunnels, as well as the changes that a caterpillar goes through to become a butterfly. It was super fun to watch! This activity was made possible through a grant awarded by the Halifax County Public Schools Education Foundation.
