Have you met Jill, the Clover Community School farm cat?

Volunteer Highlight: Meet Megan, or "Ms. Megan" as the students refer to her!
"I volunteer at Clover community school, because I love seeing the kids and working with them everyday! Each week I look forward to seeing the kids as they take care of the animals during chores! The kid's smiles while taking care of chickens, are so sweet, and I love hearing all the chicken related jokes that comes with it!" - Megan, 2023
Megan volunteers at our school a couple times a week for about 2 hours a day. She is kind, hardworking, dependable and super helpful in the classroom. Megan, thank you for being a part of our community at Clover Community School.

Volunteer Highlight:
Scott, or as the students call him, "Mr. Scott", "Sporty Scott" or "Uncle Scotty".
Scott volunteers at our school usually 1x a week. He likes to eat lunch and have recess with the students but has often changed up his schedule to accommodate projects that we ask of him. Our students look forward to having him around and notice when he can't make it.
Did you know he led the repainting of the carriage house on our property? Check out the comments for a video of that.
Scott, thank you for being a part of our community at Clover Community School.

Your financial support changes lives.
Meet Landon: Landon came to us from another private school, where he sat in the hallway all day and gnawed his shirts to tatters from anxiety. This friendly, intelligent and now confident student was in a school that couldn't support his learning style.
Check out his shirt now!
At Clover Community School, we provide project-based and experiential learning opportunities so each student can finally learn and grow. Animal therapy, garden math class, and a relationship-based teaching environment go a long way in calming a student like Landon.
Your donation will invest in the growth of students like Landon, giving them a place where their learning style matters.
