Students are working their tails off at CMS! One of the Explore to Soar clubs, P.A.W.S, has been working extra for our community.

Students involved in P.A.W.S made toys for the dogs in Small Breed Rescue East Tennessee.

Mrs. Kim Scattergood, sponsor of P.A.W.S says, “The students made braided rope toys for the rescue dogs at Small Breed Rescue East Tennessee. Students took fleece material and cut in strips to assemble them.”

Students at CMS have been spending their free-time giving back to the four-legged-friends of our community!

The youth Wrestling program that could

Hunter Evans, Camden Leon, and Dawson Woodard

This Year at Clinton Middle, the Wrestling team is chugging along like a train.

We talked to Head Coach Adam Karnowski, and he said, “The main reason our team is doing so good is because some of our middle schoolers come to the high school practices....”

We also talked with Lucas Kendall and Kayden “Bull” Goodman. They both agreed that the practice with high schoolers improves their skills.

We hope our team can keep excelling onward.
