Clark Weekly News (12/6/24)
Growing Together
New News or Needs Repeated
We had 3 rings stolen from a student that were left in the girl's bathroom this week. These rings belonged to her grandmother and her mom's class ring. A police report was filed, but at least 1 student at this school knows what happened to the rings. She will not press charges and is even offering $100 of her hard earned money just to get these back. If you know who has the rings or what happened to them, please let Dr. Judd or Mrs. Villwock know. If you do not want to be identified, please put them in an envelope and just get them to our office. The MCSO will be able to view the camera footage for all students who entered the bathroom that morning. We beg you to return these or tell us if they were disposed of.
Art Club is selling homemade holiday cards and crotched small stockings along with candy canes. Bring some money to get your holiday shopping done and support your classmates.

Unfortunately they were not the ones missing from the bathroom, but we appreciate his honesty in turning them in. If you have lost some rings, see Dr. Judd to identify and you can have them back.
