The Clinton School PTA prides itself on being a committed, proactive, and creative force. We work rigorously to provide valuable resources and services to Clinton students, parents, and staff, and we are dedicated to reaching every family in our wonderfully diverse community. Whether we are volunteering in classrooms and at school events, fundraising, creating enriching programs for our students, maintaining an awesome cultural arts assembly program, purchasing items—both big and small, or advocating for our school, our students, and our staff, our work has a major impact on many aspects of the Clinton School experience.

When we see an opportunity, we take it. When we identify a need, we satisfy it. Here are just a few examples:

Our auditorium was in desperate need of updating and we raised $30,000 to undertake a complete audio-visual renovation and to install new lighting throughout.

Clinton School needed new playground equipment and the PTA raised $25,000 for brand new state-of-the-art equipment that will entertain and challenge students of all ages.

We wanted to do a better job of communicating with our non-English speaking families, so we wrote and received a translation grant and instituted a bi-monthly newsletter for our Haitian Creole and Spanish-speaking families.

To assist our teachers/students in the school district’s technology initiative, the PTA purchased MacBooks and iTouches to pilot a learning-centered technology program in our 3rd grade.

Clinton School is a warm and inviting neighborhood school, with a committed faculty and staff, and a spirited, active, and talented parent community. Please join us as we continue to work hard for our school and our children. Join the PTA, volunteer at a PTA-sponsored program or event, spend an hour helping out in the library or the art room, pick one of our annual fundraising campaigns and go crazy with it, communicate your ideas to the PTA Board, become a class parent, and most importantly, let your child see first-hand the importance of getting involved and making our school (and our world) a better place.

Message from Jung Lee Masters, PTA President

The Clinton community consists of the most dedicated and talented group of teachers, staff and administrators, each willing to go above and beyond to enhance our children’s educational experiences.
And, with each year, our parent community seems to grow exponentially, with more parent volunteers doing new, creative and exciting things for all of our children.

Together, our Parent-Teacher partnership has resulted in a successful collaboration committed to supporting each and every child in our school.

I have been a proud member of the Clinton Community for 3 years now, and I am honored to serve as your PTA President this year.
The Clinton PTA hosts many wonderful events that bring our families together and make our school a better place. We begin each year with community building events such as the Ice Cream Social and continue on with the Pumpkin Patch, Winter Craft Fair, Storytelling Night, and Spring Fair. Our All School Musical Revue has become one of our most successful and enjoyable events.
Over 250 students and 50 parents put on three incredibly professional talent showcases for everyone in our proud community.
I have seen firsthand the positive effects on our children and witnessed their growing sense of pride in our school, our neighborhood and our world.

The Clinton PTA raises money to support our cultural arts programs, school field trips, academic support initiatives, classroom supplies budget, and recess program. In addition to the annual support, our PTA has updated the audio-visual system in the auditorium, completed the rock-climbing wall, replenished library books and most recently we have purchased new playground equipment to augment the existing equipment that was previously purchased by
the PTA.
All of these efforts have been possible thanks to the dedication and hard work of our Clinton families.

Each year brings new goals and exciting ideas for our community. We may face a challenging year ahead, but together we can overcome obstacles and accomplish great things. We will continue to work together with our teachers and staff to create a rich and engaging learning environment for all our children. On behalf of the PTA executive board, we encourage you to become involved in the PTA and look forward to working with you in creating another fabulous year at Clinton School.
