Clay Elementary Pig Races 2017
Clay Elementary sold almost $30,000 worth of cookie dough this school year.
Our school keeps a percentage of the money for field trips, AR, supplies, awards, parties, and other school events throughout the school year. Students that sold ten (10) items got to participate in a Pig Race for a chance to win a $50 gift card to Wal-Mart. Seventy-two (72) students sold at least 10 items and participated. There were nine (9) heat races and each heat race winner raced for the grand prize.
Congratulations to Macyn Johnson for winning the Pig Race!
