Hello, Clinton Families,

If you plan to attend our hugely popular International Dinner next Thursday, April 26 at 6 pm in the cafeteria, PLEASE send in your pink RSVP form BY FRIDAY! We need to know how many people are coming and what delicious dishes you are bringing!

Get Ready for the Clinton Float!

For the fourth year in a row, Clinton is building a float for the Memorial Day Parade. We need your help to make it another smashing success! Mark your calendars for our float-building days:
Sunday, May 20
Saturday, May 26
Sunday, May 27

Once again, this is a green project, so please help us gather materials. There will be a drop-off box inside the school entrance. We are collecting:

Newspapers
Plastic newspaper bags (any color)
Pizza boxes

Please plan to march in the parade, Monday, May 28. Every child is encouraged to march in a Clinton tee shirt. If you have questions, comments, or suggestions, please call Jackie Lahey at 973-313-9757 or email. Be on the lookout for further announcements!

Mayhem Poets Assembly

The Clinton Elementary School PTA is delighted to welcome the Mayhem Poets to our school! Celebrate the power of language with Mayhem poets, a trio of theatrically trained spoken word artists and violinists who seamlessly blend elements of hip hop, theater, improvisation, and stand-up comedy. Simultaneously witty and wise, they use powerful words and performance to deal head-on with emotions and issues relevant to today’s young people. They take audiences on “an amazing ride,” say The New York Times. They will perform assemblies on Friday, April 20th at 8:30 and 9:30 AM. Parents are welcome and should sit in the balcony.

The Clinton School Musical Revue Time Machine 2012 was a HUGE success!
Congratulations to all the kids, front of house, back stage and on stage.
“The children performed their hearts out.” — Jeremy Moss
“Bravo!” — Kris Stringer
