Clarkston Elementary School - One team, one goal; ensuring success for all.

Take a look at these awesome creations from 4th grade! They did an amazing job with their Innovation Nation projects! A huge thank you to the Tyler ISD Foundation for helping to bring this experience to our kids & our 4th grade team for bringing the idea to life! 🎨🧠📝

What a cool experience for our 3rd-5th grades! UT Tyler School of Medicine brought their Mobile STEM Lab to campus & our kids were engaged in hands on learning & fun! We are so grateful for our partners at UT Tyler!

Today was “T” for Tie Dye in our ABC Countdown! 🌈🧦 Mrs. Busby’s Kindergarten class had so much fun tie dyeing socks and creating their own colorful designs. It was a bright, messy, and exciting day of creativity! 🎨

🏃‍♀️💙 What an INCREDIBLE day for our Kindergarteners at Clarkston Elementary! For the Letter “S” in Kindergarten, we celebrated all things Sports Day — and our students got the BEST surprise visitors from UT Tyler Recreational Sports! 🧡🤍 Not only did our kinders get to learn about fitness, teamwork, movement, and healthy habits, but they also had the opportunity to meet amazing athletes who ran for the ✨ Boston Marathon ✨! Our students worked so hard writing encouraging letters to Brittany before her big race, cheering her on with kind words, pictures, and motivation from their little hearts. 🥹✏️💌 Seeing our students make real-world connections through writing was such a powerful moment! We are especially thankful for the partnership and connection we have with The University of Texas at Tyler and their Rec Sports team. Having future leaders, athletes, and educators pour into our students creates experiences they will NEVER forget. This is what community, mentorship, and education are all about! From races under the arches to smiles, movement, laughter, and learning — today was one for the books! 🏅🎉 #ClarkstonElementary #UTTyler #UTTylerRecSports #SportsDay #KindergartenFun #BostonMarathon #FutureLeaders #WritingConnections #LetterS #CommunityConnections #TylerISD #KindergartenMagic
