Clarendon Elementary School Update

Fourth grade students from Michelle Wright’s and Melissa Bessey’s classes attended an overnight trip to the Phoenix Zoo on the 8th of January. The excursion was funded by a grant from Ft. McDowell Yavapai Nation. Each student chose an animal native to Arizona and conducted internet-based research in order to better prepare for the zoo experience. The students were fortunate to be able to see their individual Arizona animal up close and in person at the zoo. Due to their preparation, they were able to share interesting facts about their animal with the group. What a great experience!

The Clarendon Spelling Bee winners are: 1st- Isaac Solis in Chad Kobold’s 5th grade classroom; 2nd- Kimberly Santos in Kristi Wilhelms’ 6th grade classroom; and 3rd- DeMarcus Pierce in Sara Bill’s 6th grade classroom.
