Clear Springs receives Whole Kids Bee Renewal Grant

Clear Spring is also the proud recipient of the Bee Renewal Grant from the Whole Kids

Foundation for the support of our schools’ bee mentor, Bethany Smith. This grant provided

Clear Spring with additional educational resources for the classrooms and some curriculum

development support for our bee mentor. Clear Spring has also been selected for the Whole

Kids Foundation “Share Your Story” feature page which will highlight our bee program on their website. “We are so proud of our bee program and excited to share our story with other schools and we hope that more schools begin to teach the importance of bees to the environment” said Jessica FitzPatrick, Head of School at Clear Spring. Clear Spring School is also participating in a “Pay it Forward” fundraiser to support the Bee Cause program for schools. “Although we sell our own honey in the fall the school wants to give back with a small honey fundraiser at our office selling the Bee Cause honey and proceeds will go to help other schools receive bee grants” noted Dawn Ward, the school’s Development Director.

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.
