Clayton County BEST students and their fathers are working hard to make improvements to the baseball field in Elkader in order to host some WarEagle Baseball games. Thanks for your hard work and hope to see high school baseball back in town soon.
The next project in our Athletic Complex update is the baseball field. Today sod was delivered that will be laid to bring our pitching mound and base paths back to regulation size. The best part of this project is Central students are doing most of the work as part of our Clayton County Best program! When you come down to the football game tonight stop by to check out our progress. We look forward to having the Wareagles play baseball in Elkader again!

Exhibits will feature interactive STEM activities for students and their families.
