Sept 21-25 CCMS Shout Out

Faculty

A huge shout-out to Mr. Calvert, the phenomenal Band Director at Clay-Chalkville Middle School!

As one of the hardest-working educators around, Mr. Calvert’s dedication to his students is unmatched. Not only does he lead the largest middle school band program in all of Jefferson County Schools, but he also generously gives his time and energy to support the high school band program as well. Whether it’s spending countless hours refining a performance or stepping in with a helping hand whenever anyone needs it, his passion and selflessness set the standard.

Thank you, Mr. Calvert, for your incredible work ethic, leadership, and unwavering commitment to inspiring the next generation of musicians!

Student

A huge shout-out to 8th grader David Turner for consistently demonstrating outstanding character at CCMS! David brings positive energy to our halls every single day with his bright smile and welcoming attitude. You can always count on him to greet you with a polite hello whenever he passes by.

Beyond his great manners, David is a true team player who is always ready to lend a helping hand to his classmates, teachers, and school administrators alike. Thank you, David, for making CCMS a brighter, more supportive place for everyone! Keep up the amazing work!

Today our schools were decked out in a sea of yellow and gold to advocate for Childhood Cancer awareness!🎗️

We appreciate each student, educator, administrator, and employee who supported Hope for Autumn Foundation's Give Hope Day! It was incredibly moving to see our JEFCOED Family stand behind such a meaningful cause. 💛

Campuses throughout our district are already decked out in gold ahead of Give Hope Day tomorrow!🎗️

Be sure to wear gold or yellow on Thursday, September 24, 2026, as we team up with the Hope for Autumn Foundation to raise awareness of childhood cancer and advocate for resources to support patient families.

Give Hope Day hits close to home for many families in our district, and our hearts are with each of you who have a child who has battled cancer or is currently fighting. We stand with you during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and beyond. 💛
