Our track meet on Friday at Clover Bar was a huge success! Our students set themselves up for success with tents, tarps, umbrellas, coolers, music, and even some sunscreen! They did a great job competing in all of the events, and in cheering on their classmates right to the end during the homeroom relays! They were great citizens during the event as they interacted with the students at Mills Haven during the long jump, and also did a great job of cleaning up after themselves!

Thank you very much to the parent volunteers and some student from Salisbury who came to help run our events with our staff!

The 2023-24 Clover Bar Yearbooks are now available for order! You can add the fee through the Parent Portal of PowerSchool. The cost is $31, and the yearbook must be purchased in advanced. Students will receive their 2023-24 Yearbook during the 2024-25 school year.
