It’s Dress Down Day at Clelian Heights School for Staff and Students on Wednesday, May 6, 2026! 👕🎉
A small way to say a BIG thank you to the amazing staff who give their all, every single day.
We ❤️ our staff—and we appreciate you more than words can say!
Dear Staff of Clelian Heights,
During this Staff Appreciation Week, I want to take a special moment to thank each of you from
the depths of my heart.
Every day, you bring life to our mission in ways that are both beautiful and profound. Through
your patience, your compassion, and your quiet acts of care, you create a place where those we
serve are truly seen, respected, and loved. Your work is not simply a role—it is a calling, and it
shines through in all that you do.
In moments that may feel ordinary or even challenging, please remember that nothing you give is
ever small. Each gesture of kindness, each word of encouragement, each act of understanding
becomes a reflection of God’s presence among us. You are instruments of His peace, bringing
light into the lives of others in ways that truly matter.
Clelian Heights is what it is because of you. The difference we celebrate—this spirit of dignity,
joy, and belonging—lives in your daily commitment and your generous hearts.
As we honor you this week, know that you are deeply appreciated, sincerely valued, and lifted up
in prayer. May God bless you for the goodness you share so freely, and may He continue to
renew your strength and fill you with His peace.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Sr. Charlene

My little sister, Marianne Morsey, was one of the first group of children to attend Clelian Heights. I remember they all lived in the big house and their school was on the barn. Marianne loved it there! But my dad didn’t send her back when the new school was built! We were all so sad for her but we couldn’t change daddy’s mind. Marianne passed away last Sept. 30at the age of 71. Thank you for all the happy times she had there!
