In the News

We are always happy when the good news at Clinton School is covered by the local press.

Ms. Rebecca Martin (music) and Ms. Christine Tischio (art) spent two weeks of their summer at the Artist Teacher Institute hosted by Arts Horizons. This program is part of the training involved to administer Clinton School’s Artist-in-Residence grant from the New Jersey Council for the Arts. Last year the grant gave our fourth grade students the chance to work with Vince Ector, an amazing jazz musician. The year before that we hosted a professional dance company. Our 2010-11 grant will focus on poetry. This grant is made possible by a collaboration between the Clinton PTA and Clinton School teachers and administration.

To learn more about the Art Institute (and to see Ms. Martin dancing salsa) take a look at the clip:
