Can you come to express your gratitude for everything these wonderful people have done for our children?

Date: Wednesday, June 9th
Time: 2:35 pm to 3:15 pm
Place: Clinton School Library

If you are willing to do any of the above or help coordinate this event, please contact Cecelia Cancellaro at ccancellaro@verizon.net

March with Clinton School in the Memorial Day Parade, Monday, May 31!

Our theme this year is “Clinton Celebrates Diversity,” and we have a fabulous new float!

We will
assemble at the Columbia High School Student Parking Lot at 8:15 AM.
Every child must be accompanied by an adult.
One adult can take responsibility for more than one child, but children may NOT be dropped off alone at the point of assembly.
Please wear a Clinton School shirt, or a red shirt.

School supply kits for next year can be pre-ordered now. Order by June 2nd. Kits will be ready for pick-up on September 2 at 4pm in the cafeteria.

Tomorrow, May 20th, is the last day of our spring After School Enrichment session. We will be setting fall dates shortly and registration materials will be sent home soon after school begins in September.

Don’t miss our general PTA Meeting on Thursday, May 20th at 7:15pm which is dedicated to middle school transition. Principal Kirk Smith, a current 6th grader, and a member of the Home School Association of South Orange Middle School will speak. Additionally, our 2010-2011 PTA Board roster will be announced. The meeting will be held in the auditorium. Babysitting will be provided for children ages 4 and above.

This year Clinton’s 4th grade students have been fortunate to study jazz with artist-in-residence Vince Ector, thanks to a grant from the New Jersey Council for the Arts and matching funds from the Clinton PTA.

Mr. Ector has been working with the students for several weeks and we are proud to announce that their work together will be presented in a culminating performance on Friday, May 28th.

You are cordially invited to Clinton School’s 4th Grade Jazzfest
on
Friday, May 28th
at 9am
in the Clinton School Auditorium

We request that parents sit in the balcony (entrance on the second floor).

There’s another busy week planned at Clinton this week. We’ve got the Scholastic Book Fair all week, PTA meeting with SOMS principal on Thursday, LocoMania! and the yearly rainbow picture on Friday, and Memorial Day Parde float building on Saturday!

Thanks to everyone who came to enjoy the fair on Saturday and all those wonderful volunteers who made it possible! Everyone had such a good time. Share your photos in our Flickr group.

Enjoy!
