For many years, District PTAs and HSAs have partnered with school social workers and the Parenting Center to provide Thanksgiving meals for food-insecure families in our elementary and middle schools. This fall, Achieve will once again serve as a central location for fund collection. 

Please consider donating any amount to help our friends and neighbors this holiday season. Any support helps and is gratefully appreciated, but please donate by Sunday, November 12th. 

Our goal is to deliver $100 gift cards to each of the 225 families in the SOMSD community. 

* Note: any funds raised in excess of Thanksgiving gift card needs will be used to help food-insecure families in the South Orange-Maplewood School District over the holidays/winter break.

School Supply Update!

This year, the Clinton PTA is launching a brand-new initiative to provide ALL classrooms with school supplies for the school year! That's right, there will be no need to shop for supplies over the summer and bring in materials on the first day of school. 

The goal is to buy all materials in bulk at discounted rates, which helps reduce the burden on families and teachers! The drive will also help provide paper goods and disposable items needed throughout the year. 

This program is only possible with donations from Clinton families, which is critical for the success of the effort for this year and beyond. The suggested amount is $35 per child, but you are welcome to donate as much or as little as you are able. 

DONATE HERE
