Tradehome Shoes representatives Travis Hansen and Michael Silva stopped by Clark Wednesday to donate 48 pairs of shoes to Clark students. The donation is a part of the Trade-at-Home-Give-at-Home campaign, which seeks to impact local communities by supplying local schools with shoes for students in need.
“We appreciate this generous donation from Tradehome Shoes,” said Assistant Principal Drake Dunnaway. “With 48 new pair of Under Armour sneakers to give away, our students will be walking down the halls looking fresh!”

Clark Elementary is one of 781 schools across the country recognized by the Alliance for a Healthier Generation as America's Healthiest Schools for their dedication to supporting the health and well-being of students, staff, and families. Congratulations!

The Kentucky Directors of Pupil Personnel have designated Wednesday September 13 as statewide “High Attendance Day” to emphasize that consistent attendance is essential for success in school. Paducah Public Schools are working hard on improving our district wide attendance, because we know that students who are at school on time have a higher success rate than those who aren't.
On High Attendance Day, Kentucky’s public elementary, middle and high schools may compete in small-school or large-school categories. Six winners will be determined statewide based on each individual school’s performance, regardless of its district’s showing. The school in each category with the highest percentage attendance for September 13 will receive a minimum $500. If the school has more than 500 students, the award will increase based on enrollment.
