🎉🐾 BENGAL STRONG HABITS IN ACTION SPOTLIGHT: ENCORE TEACHERS 🐾🎉
This week, we are shining the spotlight on our incredible Encore Department — a dynamic group of educators who bring energy, creativity, and real-world learning to our Bengals every single day! From the gym to the art room, the computer lab to the kitchen, and the shop to the ag classroom, these teachers help students discover their passions while building confidence and life skills that go far beyond the classroom. Our PE teacher keeps students active and motivated, our Art teacher sparks creativity and self-expression, and our Computer teacher prepares students with essential technology skills for the future. In Family & Consumer Science, students gain practical life knowledge, while our Woods, Construction Tech, and Welding programs give hands-on experiences that build problem solvers and future craftsmen. Our Ag program continues to grow leaders and innovators who are ready to make an impact in our community and beyond. Together, this team helps shape well-rounded Bengals who are ready to learn, lead, and succeed. Below is a look into their life outside of school.
Traci McDonald is in her ninth year at CCCMS and her eighteenth year in education. During her time at CCCMS, she has taught special education, physical education, and Family and Consumer Sciences (FACS). She, along with her husband and their three children, moved to Clay Center 19 years ago, and they truly appreciate the small-town atmosphere, as well as the convenient access to larger communities nearby. She absolutely loves what she does and cannot imagine working in any other profession!
Marsha Argo has taught at Lincoln, Longford, Wakefield, Garfield, and CCCMS in her 36 years in education. She grew up in Clay Center, and most of her family still resides here. She is married to Mike and they have two sons, Devin and Aiden. She is a big K-State fan and loves to spend time with family and friends. She also loves to travel, draw, and cook.
Ian Lane is in his 3rd year of teaching Technology at CCCMS. Previously, he taught at Garfield and Wakefield. He grew up in Clay Center and moved back home after getting married to his wife, Stefanie. She is currently the Principal at Lincoln Elementary School. They have two daughters, Norah and Addy. He loves K-State and enjoys playing golf and building LEGO sets in his free time. In the spring, he coaches the throwers for the Tigers track and field team.
Aly Schooley has taught middle school and high school math in Clay Center from 2014 to 2018. Then, she started writing a math curriculum remotely for Great Minds. She is now back in the classroom as the Architecture and Design teacher at the high school. Mr. Schooley is her husband, and they have 2 boys, Asher and Kyson.
Brandon Pfizenmaier grew up here in Clay County, graduated from high school here, and then went to the University of Nebraska Kearney, wherehe wrestled and graduated with a Bachelor's in Construction Management. He then moved back to Clay County and got married, had 4 awesome kids, and continued life. He has been teaching Construction Technology here now for 5 years and has the privilege of teaching students how to build a house.
Travis Smith serves as the PE teacher, Assistant Principal, and Athletic Director at CCCMS. He is dedicated to keeping students active, building strong character, and supporting Bengal athletics both on and off the field.
Garrett Craig teaches Agriculture and Welding at CCCMS, providing hands-on learning experiences that develop practical skills, work ethic, and a passion for careers in ag and the skilled trades.
We are extremely lucky to have such an amazing group of Encore Teachers!

Mr. Last's 7th grade ELA classes are working on a unit on space exploration. Today, after reading a passage in their books, they got into small groups and created a fictional podcast about what it would be like to step onto Mars for the first time. There were lots of creative ideas that they will put together and share with their classmates when the podcast is finished. #celebrate379
Yesterday, Garfield and CCCMS welcomed Kevin Olson to speak to the students. Mr. Olson, a family friend of GES counselor Mrs. Cott, became paralyzed at age 19. He has since achieved personal and professional success as a motivational speaker and the author of “Learning to Live With It", a book about his journey through the aftermath of the accident. He shared a message of perseverance and hope!

🐾 Bengal Strong Habits in Action – PAWS Spotlight 🐾
This week, we’re shining our PAWS Spotlight on Mrs. Blain’s PAWS!
Their goal is simple but powerful: anyone who walks through their doors should feel welcome, notice the camaraderie, and hear the diligence behind their efforts. They’re mostly easy-going… unless the morning includes competition—then watch out! 😄 Like a good game of Uno against Grandma, they’re in it to win it, even if Grandma has to come in second.
Every morning is an opportunity for this PAWS to connect, laugh, and enjoy one another, and their 8th grade students lead the charge exceptionally well. Their leadership, energy, and commitment truly model what it means to live out Bengal Strong Habits.
Way to go, Mrs. Blain’s PAWS—thank you for being such a positive example and for making CCCMS a welcoming place for all! 🧡🖤🐯
