Teacher Luncheon
On Tuesday, May 4th at 2:40 pm, during Teacher Appreciation Week (May 3-7), the PTA will host our annual Teacher Appreciation Luncheon in the Clinton School Library. Would you be willing to help by preparing a dish or donating money for supplies?

All kinds of dishes are welcome, from appetizers to desserts to beverages.
Monetary donations can be sent to school in care of the PTA.
Please mark “for teacher luncheon.”

General PTA meeting
Don’t miss our May General PTA Meeting on Thursday May 20th at 7:15 pm in the Clinton School cafeteria.

South Orange Middle School Principal Kirk Smith will discuss the transition from 5th grade to middle school, so if you have a 5th grader, you’ll be especially interested.
An SOMS HSA representative and student representative will also be on hand.

Yearbooks on sale
Order your Clinton School yearbook by May 7th. And we are still in need of yearbook photos for all grades.

Memorial Day parade float
For the second year, we are building a float for the Memorial Day Parade.
The theme is “Clinton Elementary School Celebrates Diversity,” and it’s going to be wonderful!

There are several ways to help.
First, we need YELLOW PLASTIC BAGS.

If you subscribe to the Star Ledger, or shop at ShopRite, please save and donate your yellow bags.
You can drop them off inside the school entrance or at 3R Living on Maplewood Avenue.

Second, please help build the float! We will be working at the following times:

Saturday, May 22, 1:00 – 4:00 PM
Saturday, May 29, 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Sunday, May 30, 10:00 AM -?

There will be tasks for both children and adults.
Come for an hour or come for a day.
All are welcome!

Third, please plan to march in the parade, Monday, May 31.
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.
Every child is encouraged to march a Clinton School shirt, or a red shirt.

For the second consecutive year, Clinton is building a float for the Memorial Day Parade!
Our float was the talk of the town last year and the building process and the actual parade were wonderful!

Designed by parents, our new float promises to be another work of art!
Our theme this year is “Clinton Elementary School Celebrates Diversity.”
Please help us gather materials.
There will be a drop-off box inside the school entrance.

We are collecting:

Newspapers
Yellow plastic bags (Star Ledger or other)
We also need small-holed, hexagonal chicken wire.

Mark your calendars for our float-building days!
