Congratulations to our stellar Physical Education teachers, Betsy Spiegel and Reid Anderson, on their latest achievement: A grant from the National Foundation for Governors' Fitness Councils!
Clayton is now home to the “Don’t Quit!” Fitness Center which features brand-new fitness equipment that will benefit current and future CMS students. A BIG THANK YOU to Ms. Spiegel and Mr. Anderson for the time and effort they put into the application process—how lucky are we to have them as our teachers and colleagues?!
It was a fun day celebrating the ribbon-cutting of our fitness center and we celebrated by hosting Governor Herbert, Jake Steinfeld, and Superintendent Lexi Cunningham among many others who were treated to the best Eye of the Tiger flash mob song and dance anyone has ever seen!
Check out some of the media coverage by clicking the links below:

This summer our very own Physical Education teacher, Reid Anderson, hit the road with a lucky group of 8th graders and headed down to Moab, Utah for a week of adventure. Mr. Anderson and a crew from Friends of Arches, Canyonlands Field Institute, and Canyonlands Parks led the students as they set up camp, hiked, river rafted, paddle boarded, ate good food, and played games. We are so proud of and grateful for Mr. Anderson and the organizations he partnered with for the opportunity and experience they helped create for our awesome students. We feel confident that this was a trip they will remember for a long time to come.
The video below sure does make us excited for next year’s Operation Adventure Utah trip!
