He told us about the students accomplishments and scholarships. He proudly noted class academic achievements and scholarships awarded. Clark Academy valedictorian is headed to LaGuardia Community College in Queens, NY and the salutatorian is headed to Manhattan Fashion Academy of Technology. Clark Academy’s marching band received a donation for uniforms for their drum corps. Students have been building relationships with senior citizens who attend the town’s senior lunch program. They have been developing social skills and some have developed strong bonds. A wonderful and positive environment for these students.
