This inspiring conference is designed for students in grades 3–8 and brings together talented authors, artists, educators, experienced writers, and business leaders who lead engaging sessions that encourage young people to explore and grow their creative talents.
Students had the chance to learn about a wide variety of creative topics, including poetry, fiction writing, character and plot development, illustration and cartooning, theater arts, music, graphic design, journalism, science fiction, humor, screenplays, calligraphy, and more! The conference is all about helping students discover new passions, build confidence in their creativity, and take their talents to the next level.
We were able to send our students thanks to the support of our Clipper Walkathon fundraiser, which helped cover the cost of this amazing experience. A big thank you to everyone who contributed and made this opportunity possible for our students!
We’re proud of our young writers and artists for representing our school and embracing their creativity!

Dear Parents and Guardians,
We’ve recently received questions about extra charges showing up on student lunch accounts, so we want to clarify how our Free Breakfast Program works.
Every student may receive one free breakfast each day, which includes:
1 grain (cereal, donut balls, long john, pizza, etc.)
1 fruit (students may take more than one fruit at no charge)
1 juice
1 milk
However, any items taken beyond the free meal will result in a charge to the student’s account. These extra charges include:
Extra milk: $0.80
Extra juice: $0.75
Extra grain or a second full breakfast: $5.00
Example: Many students take more than 1 long john, OR they take a long john AND cereal. These will result in an extra grain charge.
Please remind your student that taking additional food items outside of the free meal components will add a cost to their account. We hope this helps clear up any confusion and ensures families are aware of how charges may occur.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you for your support!

Important Safety Update: Recent Activity at Cleveland Public School
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I am writing to share some information regarding a report of a suspicious vehicle near the Cleveland Public School Playground today. We know that when children come home talking about police presence or "suspicious cars," it can cause natural concern. I want to provide you with the facts and reassure you that our students remained safe throughout the encounter.
During outdoor recess, an observant staff member noticed a vehicle driving slowly past the playground, turning around, and passing by a second time. Following our safety protocols, the staff member immediately reported the vehicle’s description and license plate to both the District Office and local law enforcement.
Law enforcement responded quickly and conducted a traffic stop. After speaking with the occupants, officers determined that the individuals were parents of students in our district. They had recently dropped off one child and were simply attempting to catch a glimpse of their other child playing on the playground before leaving.
While their intentions were harmless, we are incredibly proud of our staff for their "see something, say something" vigilance. At no point were any students in danger.
Our Commitment to Safety
We take every report seriously. Today’s event was a successful test of our communication chain and our partnership with local police. We would much rather investigate a well-intentioned parent than overlook a potential concern.
Talking to Your Child
Your child may mention seeing a car or the police today. We encourage you to use this as a moment to reinforce that:
- Their teachers and school staff are always looking out for them.
-The police are our partners in keeping the community safe.
-The situation was resolved quickly, and everyone is safe.
Thank you for your continued support and for trusting us with your children’s safety.
