Items ordered from Sally Foster and Greenraising were distributed yesterday. If you did not pick up your orders they will be sent home with your child today. Please make sure you received the items you ordered for both Sally Foster and/or Greenraising.

For Sally Foster, there were some items that were no longer in stock and you would have received a voucher taped to the inside of the delivery box.

Using the funding from the federal grant, the children in fourth and fifth grades will be using heart rate monitors in PE.

Please join us for our second General PTA Meeting of the year on Thursday, November 19th, at 7:15 pm in the Clinton School Auditorium (enter through the parking lot).

Come find out all the latest school news and hear from our guest speaker, third-grade teacher Joe Ferriero, who will be making a presentation on the pilot program involving iPod Touches and MacBooks for third graders.

And while you’re at the meeting you can join the PTA (if you haven’t
already) or buy a Clinton T-shirt. Babysitting for children ages 4 and over will be provided. See you on the 19th!

Since Clinton students go on to SOMS (and since many of you already have children at SOMS), we thought you might be interested in supporting this event:

Maplewood Girls’ Night Out to benefit South Orange Middle School

Just in time for holiday shopping, Maplewood Village will host a Girls’ Night Out shopping event that will benefit South Orange Middle School.

Don’t miss this opportunity on the evening of Tuesday, Nov. 17, to support local merchants and South Orange Middle School at the same time.

Among the participating merchants donating 10 percent of sales between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. to SOMS are No. 165, Little One and Co., Perch, Shed, Hopscotch, Village Belle, 3R Living, Revolution Home, Tenth Muse and Tic Tac Toes. (Tic Tac Toes will participate from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.)

That evening, patrons to the Maplewood Village Trattoria, St. James’
Gate, Arturo’s, Indigo Smoke and Bill & Harry’s will also help SOMS because those restaurants will make donations to the school.

The Girls’ Night Out is open to the public.

With the close of the soccer seasons, please consider donating your child’s Kickers/Cougar/South Mountain uniform to Jerseys from Jersey. We will combine your uniform with others in order to send two full team sets and a soccer ball to children in orphanages and schools in developing nations. There are 4 convenient drop-off locations around our towns until December: – Clinton School entry – Kari’s Caf√© – 3R Living – Mia Cose Bella

Thank you!
