PICTURES AND REPORTS ALAN PHILLIPS PAID A SURPRISE VISIT TO CITY SCHOOL 5-16-2019. Cole and Sophia Phillip's dad has been deployed with the army for almost a year.  He just came home and decided to surprise his children while they were at school.  Students from nearby classrooms celebrated Mr. Phillips' visit when he was up in Mrs. Lamb's area.  In Mrs. Gleason's PreK room, Sophia got the longest hug ever and she refused to get down from her dad's embrace.  LINK TO 12 PICTURES INCREDIBLES LIP SYNC BATTLES Each year Mr. Clark assembles an array of 6th-grade students (and sometimes teachers) to create a lip sync music video.
