Hello Smallville,
We had a nice and short week, but we are ready to kick off the fall season at our campus Pumpkin Patch on Sunday, October 6, 2024 from 11:00am -4:00pm! Join us for a day filled with games, and the chance to pick out the perfect pumpkin for your decorations. It’s a fantastic way to celebrate autumn with friends and family!
Not only will you have a blast, but your participation will also help support various campus initiatives aimed at enhancing the student experience. All funds raised will go directly to programs that benefit students, from events and activities to resources.
Mark your calendars and join us for a day of fall festivities that makes a difference! We can’t wait to see you there!
Have an amazing weekend!
Stay Present Cougars,

Are you interested in fresh, free-range eggs while also supporting the Green Academy? Do you want to help teach 8th graders valuable business skills? Look no further—The Clint Small Egg Club (CSEC) is here for you!
What’s the Deal?
For just $60 a year, you’ll join CSEC and get fresh, healthy, free-range eggs from our very own hens. As part of the club, you'll receive a dozen eggs whenever your name comes up in the rotation.
Why Join?
It’s a win-win! By participating, you’re not only enjoying high-quality eggs, but you’re also directly supporting YOUR kid's education and helping the entire Clint Small community. Your contribution helps fund not only educational programs but also supports teachers, staff, students, and even our feathered friends.
And Here’s the Best Part:
Your $60 goes further than you might think. Instead of spending your money at a giant grocery store, you’re investing in the future of our students and the school. Our dedicated 8th graders and their hardworking hens are making a difference, and you can be a part of it!
Spots are Limited!
To ensure everyone gets a regular supply of eggs, we have limited spots available. Don’t miss out—sign up for CSEC and make a difference while enjoying fresh eggs!

These two itineraries were picked with a lot of thought put into them. Students (and adults!) will get to see so many iconic places on tour, including a great number of World Heritage Sites. The hands-on experiences chosen are great as well, the landmarks we'll visit, and the sights you'll see are all world-class: From the Island of Capri "faraglione" to the Acropolis, to swimming on Heraklion beaches in Crete, to stepping on Kyoto's most amazing temple - a national treasure itself, to visiting technology museums in Tokyo and Japanese gardens in Osaka, walking in the steps of Gladiators in the Colosseum and Roman Forum, or learning about how Pompeii got buried in ashes with Mount Vesuvius in the background, or stepping into Delphi and learning about oracles in Greece, it's going to be amazing!
Reach out any time with any and all questions, or to schedule a chat!
