In Search Of A New Clinton Motto!

Clinton Community, we need your help!

We are calling on all students, staff, parents, alumni, and community members to help us create a new school motto that highlights what makes Clinton School so great and unique.

Raise Funds For Clinton - Without Spending Additional Money!

The BENEFIT program is an easy way to earn money for Clinton while you shop.

Thanksgiving Donations

Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Every year, your PTA partners with our school social worker and interns, and The Parenting Center to provide Thanksgiving meals for Clinton's food insecure families. Please consider donating at one of the tier levels below, or any amount that you're able. Every bit helps.

Clinton PTA Mixology Night

2020 has been quite a year so far. Who needs a cocktail? We see all those hands raised out there. The Clinton PTA understands and we're here to help. We’ve recruited The Barlingual Chicks (Katy and Chrissy) to create a fun mixology class online where we will make and drink three different cocktails over the course of the evening. They are hosting a bourbon night exclusively for the Clinton School! You'll learn the basic cocktail know-how, try different flavor profiles and see just how versatile (and fast-acting) bourbon can be. So join us as we raise a glass and raise some money for all the students. The party starts at 8pm on October 24th.

Details:

Date – Saturday, October 24^th

Time: 8-10p EST

Platform: Zoom

Cost - $40, plus the cost of ingredients – a list will be provided to all registered participants

Clinton Week of Respect

Ms. Tapia is happy to announce that CLINTON Week of Respect kicks off Monday, October 5th. There are many fun ways for Clinton kids to be involved in promoting kindness and respect this week.

Each day there is a new clothing theme for the kids to represent different ways of being kind and respectful. See the image below for more details!

Another fun way to get involved is to create a Walk Way Of Respect in your driveway or sidewalk - then upload a photo to the Week of Respect Padlet!

The "Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act (P.L.2010, c.122) requires that the week beginning with the first Monday in October of each year (October 5 - 9, 2020) be designated as the Week of Respect in New Jersey. To recognize the importance of social and emotional learning and character education, school districts, charter schools and renaissance school projects are required to observe the week by providing age-appropriate instruction focused on preventing/remediating harassment, intimidation, and/or bullying."
