💪🏽🏋️‍♂️ NEW THIS YEAR: CLOPTON STRENGTH CLUB 🏋️‍♀️💪🏽

This year, through a partnership with the Missouri Army National Guard and Sean Phillips, we were able to launch our new Strength Club at Clopton!

Students were tested throughout the semester with “re-maxes” to track progress and earn their way into our strength clubs and receive a t-shirt!

🔥 Boys: 900 LB Club & 1,000 LB Club (Jacob Harrelson, James Matheny, Trey Spoonster-900; John Grillo, Richard Lanvermeier-1000)
🔥 Girls: 500 LB Club & 600 LB Club (Makinley Carr-not pictured, Ashlyn Noah, Calleigh Noah-500; Skyler Wilson-1000)
***Skyler Wilson also set the new women's "Bench" for a Sophomore!-Congratulations!

Congratulations to all of our students who reached these milestones this year, and thank you to the Missouri Army National Guard for helping make this possible!

Congratulations to our Middle School and High School Students who made 4th Quarter "Honor Roll", great job to all!

What a great way to celebrate the end of another school year! ☀️🎉 Our Middle School students enjoyed a well-deserved “Fun Day” at our new complex, spending time with classmates and taking part in activities like kickball on the turf, volleyball, cornhole, frisbee, and more!
