It’s a great time of the year to catch up on magazine reading, or to order some new subscriptions and renew old ones. And magazine subscriptions make great gifts!

If you’re in the market for any of this, you can do it through Reader’s Digest Magazine Fundraising, and you can support Clinton School in the process.

You can also invite your friends and family to visit Clinton’s online fundraising page to choose from over 650 magazine subscriptions at up to 85% savings. Clinton will get 40% of each purchase.

Order your new subscriptions, or renew existing ones, by clicking here

Thanks, as always, for supporting Clinton School!

Locomania was a blast! The kids (and their teachers) walked, skipped, and galloped the Underhill Field track and also spent some time dancing in the middle of the field!

We hope your children like the water bottles that were given to all children (each grade got a different color that corresponded with the rainbow color they wore that day for our Annual Rainbow Photo). The Rainbow Photo promises to be the best ever and we will have it available for sale as a poster soon.

If your children found sponsors to make pledges for their efforts in Locomania, please begin collecting the payments. The pledge form and payments should be sent to school by June 1st in the envelope that was attached to the pledge form, or in a plain envelope marked Clinton PTA/ Locomania. 100% of money raised will benefit Clinton School, so we greatly appreciate your support.

Many thanks to our amazing physical education teachers, Mr. Lehman and Ms. Freede, for making the day so fun and for always making our children feel that fitness is fun. We are really lucky to have them.

Thanks to DJ/Dad Jeremy Moss for his musical expertise and constant willingness to help. We are lucky to have him too. And thanks to Leah Gomberg and Elizabeth Aaron for all of their organizing of the event and water bottle distribution. You guys rock! Lastly, thanks so much to all the parents who helped keep things organized that day or came to cheer on our wonderful children!

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!
