Clear Spring School Bike Club Thanks Sponsors

The Clear Spring Bike Club is up and running thanks to support from local businesses and volunteers. The club started raising funds in June 2021 with the help from Gotahold Brewery who hosted four fundraising events for the school's bike club. This helped us build a secure shelter for our bikes designed by alumnus Carl Herbert and built by Carl and board member Steve Beacham. We applied for a bicycle grant from Pedal it Forward and they worked with donor Rock Mortgage in Bentonville for a big bike giveaway in December 2021 which donated 13 bikes, helmets and water bottles to the school. We can't thank everyone enough for making this possible and it is great to see students enjoying time riding the trails around campus.

It’s the beginning of our 50th year at Clear Spring school and there is joy and laughter once again across campus.  Old friends reunited, new friends have been made, year long games of tag have started, and the playground is busy once more. As we look towards the next 50 years, we have a renewed commitment to our mission and values, a renewed sense of purpose. With a firm grounding in our roots of progressive, individualized, multi-sensory education, we are confident our graduates will be able to rise to the challenges of the 21st century. 

​

In conversations with friends, those in academia as well as the private sector, one common theme about education stood out; High school graduates are not prepared. From critical and creative thinking skills, to team collaborations, to basic communication skills, students are entering the workforce and academia woefully unequipped.  The skill sets and education needed to face the challenges of the 21st century are no longer being fulfilled in the traditional system. 

 

They are, however, at the root of educational philosophy. We look forward to meeting the challenges of the next 50 years standing true to our character: creatively, collaboratively, and critically evaluating our progress, while constantly communicating and engaging with the community.
