The Arrows Baseball game scheduled for today against Greenville-Weston has been moved to Friday. The team will play a double-header Friday in Greenville. 

Congratulations to Paula DeYoung, Clinton Public School District's 2009-10 Parent of the Year! Mrs. DeYoung was honored in a surprise ceremony on Monday at Sumner Hill Junior High School.

The mother of four has played an active role in PTAs at her children's schools, and currently serves as president of the Sumner Hill PTA. As the Clinton Public School District’s 2009-2010 Parent of the Year, DeYoung will represent the district in the state’s Parent of the Year competition this spring, hosted by the Mississippi Department of Education.

Congratulations to the DeYoung family on this honor!
