Clarksville-Montgomery County School Board Recognizes Parent for Contribution

Montgomery County, TN – When an academic intervention makes a significantly positive difference for a student, it’s a celebration for that student’s teacher and, more importantly, for that student’s family. Master Sgt. Clark Slone, the father of Smiddle school students Justin and Savanna, was amazed at the reading progress his children had made thanks to the Read 180 program. As a thank you to the teachers at New Providence Middle School, he presented a $2,000 check to support the Read 180 program.
