Due to the wet days we’ve had, we will be holding our Pumpkin Patch in the cafeteria tomorrow (10/15 from 11 to 2 pm). The front lawn is likely to be muddy.

Please enter the building through the cafeteria entrance (near the parking lot). The front doors will not be open.

See you tomorrow!

For the Friday and Saturday performances, we will be selling flowers, Clinton School shirts and NEW bumper magnets for just $5.

After each of the Saturday shows, the PTA and local Japanese families will be fundraising to aid the relief efforts in Japan. Based on the ancient story, which states that anyone who makes 1000 origami paper cranes will be granted their wish, Maplewood parent, Mihori Tada has been folding paper cranes on behalf of Clinton and our wish for the people of Japan.

On Saturday, for just $1, you can write your name on a paper crane.
The cranes will be displayed at Clinton School in May for Asian Heritage Month, then they will be sent to an elementary school in Japan.

Paper cranes, as well as water bottles, juice boxes and baked treats will be available after each of the Saturday performances, with 100% of the proceeds going towards earthquake and tsunami relief efforts in Japan.

Thank you for supporting Clinton School.
