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

Some of our 2nd & 5th grade students dove into hands-on learning today with exciting STEM stations! From engineering and coding to Legos, digital collages, and critical thinking games, they explored, created, and problem-solved their way through new challenges. 🚀💡 #STEMlearning #FutureInnovators

Ms. Browning’s 4th graders spent all week designing and building Texas Native American homes using recyclable materials and items from nature. 🌿♻️ After days of hard work and creativity, they finally finished their STEM projects—bringing history to life while thinking like true engineers! 👷‍♀️✨

Clarkston Cougars of all ages enjoyed dressing up for East Texas State Fair Roundup Day!
