We are excited to welcome Sydney Webb as our new 5th Grade Writing, Science, and Social Studies teacher at Clio Intermediate School!
A proud Clio High School alumna from the Class of 2018, Sydney is excited to return to her hometown and begin her teaching career at Clio Area Schools. She earned her K–8 Elementary Education degree with a specialization in English as a Second Language from Saginaw Valley State University and later completed her Master's Degree in Literacy through the American College of Education. Before joining Clio, Sydney spent the past three years teaching in Birch Run.
Sydney is passionate about creating engaging, student-centered learning experiences that meet the needs of every learner. She is especially excited to bring her Sustainability Fellowship from the University of Michigan to Clio, where her students will participate in Place-Based Learning that connects classroom learning to real-world experiences while making a positive impact on the local environment.
Outside the classroom, Sydney is an avid reader who enjoys realistic fiction and mystery novels. She loves spending time walking her dog, Lucy, golfing with her husband, crafting with friends and family, cheering on the Detroit Tigers, and supporting all things Michigan.

Pictured is Mrs. Keeler’s class proudly showing off their well-earned achievements (Pictured: Stella Newman, Macie Hayden, Hadley Wozniak, Morrison Krapohl, Alyvia Hawley, Darin Kline, Jersey Bracy, Elyse Brewer, and Colton James). Congratulations to all students at Clio Intermediate School who earned this recognition, great work!
Students at Clio Intermediate School are participating in Reader’s Theater, an instructional strategy that strengthens reading fluency, comprehension, and speaking skills. By reading scripts aloud with expression and purpose, students engage in repeated reading, which supports accuracy, pacing, and prosody. This approach also promotes collaboration, builds confidence, and encourages students to take ownership of their learning.
Through this activity, students are not only improving their literacy skills but also developing communication and teamwork skills in an engaging, meaningful way.

CIS students spread some springtime cheer this week by creating Easter and spring cards for residents at a local nursing home! 🌸🐰 The residents were thrilled to receive the handmade cards and loved seeing the students’ creativity and kind messages.
This activity was a wonderful way for our students to give back to the community, brighten someone’s day, and celebrate the season. It’s always special to see the smiles and joy that simple acts of kindness can bring!
