The 21st CCLC program is a three year federal grant awarded to Nash County Public Schools and the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Tar River Region.

🐟🔬 Exciting learning at Middlesex Elementary! We’re thrilled to share that Middlesex Elementary was awarded the SHAD in the Classroom grant this year! Through this amazing opportunity, 5th-grade students got hands-on with science by dissecting fish similar to shad—crappie, carp, and smallmouth bass. This hands-on activity helped students understand the anatomy of a shad 🐠 and learn directly from Kendall, a conservationist from NC State! 🌿📚 What an unforgettable experience in science, conservation, and real-world learning! 👏💙 #NCPS #MiddlesexElementary #HandsOnLearning #ScienceInAction #ShadInTheClassroom #NCState #STEMeducation
