Literacy Day
We had a fabulous day at the annual Literacy Day event. Students explored the world of Charlie Brown and all his friends. A big thank you to the library for hosting the event, to all the parents who decorated the venue, Mr. Christmas’ guitar classes for providing background music and to Mrs Pitt’s drama students to performing the scenes from the book. It was a fabulous day for all!

Athletics & Toy Soldier
Deployed soldiers and their families face a tough time during the holiday season. For those with small children, the burden can be even greater. Clarksville Academy is teaming up with Sykes Funeral Home to collect one large and one small toy for each child of these families in need. Toys should be delivered by December 18 and can be dropped off in the main lobby of our gym area. Thank you for your donation to Operation Toy Soldier. You can also visit operationtoysoldier.com for more information.

This email is designed for students and parents to send pictures taken throughout the school year. We encourage you to caption your photo or to write a sentence or two with the event name, students pictured in the photo and the date it was taken. We do not guarantee that every photo will be used, but we look forward to seeing your pictures.
