Congratulations to Kennedy Shilling for winning the Claypool Spelling Bee, and to Emilia Bueno who was Runner Up! Both will attend the district Spelling Bee at the end of the month. We appreciate the hard work and effort from all of our Spelling Bee participants! #ExperienceWCS

Before break, we reminded students to always display characteristics of a Claypool Knight. They are to always be Respectful, Responsible, and Safe. What are some ways your student displayed these characteristics? We'd love to recognize them for their hard work! #ExperienceWCS

Due to the overwhelming number of candy cane sales, the final day to purchase candy canes will be Thursday, Dec. 21. Sales will be on a first come, first served basis as we are running out of candy canes. We thank you for the amazing support of the student council! #ExperienceWCS

The Claypool Kindergarteners through 3rd graders had a dental screening this week. Local members from the dental community came to see if students had any emergent dental needs. Dental health is very important to the overall health and wellbeing of our students. #ExperienceWCS

The Student Council lead the way for our food drive for the Silver Lake Food Pantry. As a school, we collected over 1300 items! Way to go Claypool Knights! #ExperienceWCS

Mrs. Cooksey's 1st graders' annual pancake breakfast was this morning! They read the story "Pancakes for Breakfast" yesterday. On day 1 they were introduced to new vocabulary words that they needed to use while reading the book that didn’t have words! They also worked on identifying the character's feelings throughout the story. On day 2, they worked on retelling the story, and identified all the problems and solutions. Then, they ended the morning with pancakes! #ExperienceWCS

Mrs. Ray's 3rd grade class designed turkeys and then wrote adjectives to describe them. They also made thankful "pies" where they wrote what they were thankful for on each slice of pie and then illustrated them. What are you doing to get ready for the Holiday? #ExperienceWCS

While the weather outside may feel cold and dreary, it still looks like summer here inside Claypool. Our hydroponic growers are working overtime. We have leaf lettuce, herbs, tomatoes, and petunias. Thanks Miss Bonnie for helping us with this! #ExperienceWCS

We want to introduce you to the newest member of the Claypool Knight family. Mr. Hill, one of our 4th grade teachers, and his wife recently welcomed a baby boy to their family. Mom and baby are doing well. The baby joins a big sister. Welcome to the family!!!

Officer Joel heard that it was game day in Mrs. Kline's reading group. He jumped right in at the opportunity to challenge the students. The students watched his work carefully to make certain that he was playing fairly. #ExperienceWCS

All Claypool Parents... please make certain your students are dressed appropriately for the weather. We will continue to go outside for recess even in the cold and snow. Teachers also enjoy taking students outside for lessons on occasion. #ExperienceWCS
