Clinton’s livestock show team continues to make our community proud! Several of our students have been hard at work this fall, representing Clinton Schools and FFA in lamb shows across the region — and their dedication is paying off in a big way.
These students have spent countless hours caring for, training, and preparing their animals, learning lessons in responsibility, work ethic, and sportsmanship that extend far beyond the show ring. Their efforts have resulted in outstanding showings and impressive awards, reflecting both their commitment and the support of their families, ag teachers, and community.
We are proud to celebrate our lamb exhibitors for their accomplishments this season and for continuing the strong tradition of excellence in Clinton FFA’s livestock program.
Congratulations to all of our students for their success and hard work — and thank you for representing Clinton Schools with pride and professionalism! 🖤💛🐑

🥦 From Farm to Fork — Clinton School Style! 🥕
Our Food Service team recently bought a bushel of fresh green beans from Lucas Farms in Shirley! 💚
We rolled up our sleeves — washed and snapped the beans, blanched them in our steamers, then dried and froze them. These locally grown, farm-fresh beans will be served as part of our Thanksgiving dinner on November 19th at the high school and junior high — and they’ll taste just like they came straight from Grandma’s garden! 🥰
💡 Why do we blanch vegetables before freezing?
Blanching helps preserve flavor, color, and texture by stopping natural enzymes that cause vegetables to lose quality over time. It also helps the beans stay crisp, bright, and nutrient-packed — so they’re just as delicious months later!
We’re proud to support local farms and serve our students the freshest food possible. 🌾💛🐝

They will be leaving for Little Rock, on Monday morning. They will leave the mall area at 8:35 am and go by the junior high and down to the elementary school at approximately 8:37 am. They will come back up Yellowjacket Lane and turn on Hwy 65 B. They will go around the square and then get back on Hwy 65B and enter Highway 65 at the Exxon heading South through town. Go Jackets!

Now that show season has wrapped up, we’re excited to celebrate the hard work and success of our Clinton FFA students over the past few months! 💛🐝
The Clinton School District is proud to recognize Avery Malabanan for her outstanding success during this fall’s livestock show season. Avery has represented Clinton FFA with excellence in both lamb and goat showing, earning top placements and demonstrating the dedication and work ethic that define our agricultural education students.
Showing livestock requires months of hard work — from early morning feedings to late nights in the barn — and Avery’s achievements reflect her commitment to excellence and her passion for agriculture. Her success is a testament to the skills, responsibility, and leadership that students gain through participation in the Clinton FFA program.
Agriculture is a vital part of both our community and our schools. Through programs like FFA, students gain hands-on experience that teaches them not only about livestock and farming, but also about teamwork, problem-solving, and perseverance. These lessons extend far beyond the show ring and prepare our students for lifelong success.
The Clinton School District congratulates Avery Malabanan on a fantastic show season and thanks our FFA advisors, families, and community supporters who make these opportunities possible for our students. 💛🐝
