Welcome to Ardenwald Elementary's Rubik's Cube Club, where students are always thinking inside the box. These young solvers show off their rapid-fire reflexes as they race to put a solid grip on every scramble. It’s a great reminder that even when life gets mixed up, persistence can help anyone solve their way through a tough problem without flipping out.

Empowerment and heritage took center stage as student leaders from Adrienne C. Nelson High School hosted the fourth annual Leleka Ukrainian Youth Conference. Named after the white stork that symbolizes home and hope in Ukrainian folklore, the event was established four years ago when a small cohort of Nelson’s Ukrainian students asked ELD Paraeducator Nataliia Zybachynska to help them form a club dedicated to navigating their cultural and educational journeys together.

Search through any vocabulary list, and there are dozens of word pairings to describe something showcasing a significant cultural impact: cultural tradition, cultural significance, cultural experience, or cultural understanding to name a few.
But through an amazing showcase of their own now on display in the school library, Ceramics students at Alder Creek Middle School have created a brand-new word pairing that’s catching the eyes of every student and staff member who walks by. After kneading together long hours of research with a small lump of clay, each student artist proudly constructed spectacularly stunning cultural creatures.

Why were Clackamas and Rex Putnam basketball players and fans rooting for each other earlier this month? In this enlightening episode, learn how Unified Basketball brings together student athletes with and without intellectual disabilities and proves it’s less about points on the scoreboard…and much more about encouragement, opportunity, and inclusion. It’s heartwarming hoops talk with Unified coaches Brandon Beckwith of RPHS and Josh Murray of CHS, along with insights from student athletes who love all the hoops hype they receive from their biggest fans- classmates, staff members, and family.

When athletic seasons culminate at NCSD high schools throughout the school year, it’s a rare honor for an NCSD student to receive all-state recognition, especially with thousands of students competing statewide for limited slots.
Yet nearly 50 North Clackamas students recently earned that coveted ultimate recognition…not for an outstanding performance playing a sport, but for an equally impressive performance playing an instrument or showing off their vocal range.

We've previously shared Unified Basketball highlights from our district's high schools, but Clackamas High's team played it's first-ever game earlier this week. Thanks to Rex Putnam High's squad for making the road trip, and to all the students, staff, and fans who always make these contests more about having fun while making new friends...and less about points on the scoreboard.
