Students at Clear Creek made a difference during Red Ribbon Week. More than 1,000 food items were donated by kindergarten-through-fifth-grade classrooms to be given to the Shelby County Backpack Project. Healthy competition spurred on Bland’s kindergarten class to be the winner of a popcorn party with 165 food items donated. The winners of classroom door decorations with the theme of “I CAN make a Difference when I am Drug Free” were Kurz’s fifth-grade class and Gilbert’s second-grade class. They will enjoy an extended recess.
