Order Your Clinton Cookbook!

The Clinton Cookbook is complete! Don't miss your chance to order this special keepsake.

The Clinton Cookbook is 132 pages, filled with more than 100 recipes submitted by Clinton families. As a partnership between the Clinton PTA and a committee of 5th graders, proceeds from the sale will support Clinton students through the PTA, and so we have suggested donations of $5 for the PDF and $25 for the printed book. That said, we want to make sure this book gets to EVERY Clinton family that wants it! So please email cookbook@clintonelementary.org if you would like the cookbook but are unable to pay the suggested donation amounts. Thank you!

Brain Quest, America’s #1 educational bestseller with more than 50 million copies in print, is loved by kids, trusted by parents, and used and recommended by teachers because it works and it entertains, too.

Each Brain Quest deck is a fast-paced question-and-answer game that challenges kids on the stuff they need to know, when they need to know it. Brain Quest workbooks are jam-packed with curriculum-based activities, exercises, games, and challenges—all in full color.

Virtual International Dinner

Clinton's beloved annual tradition, The International Dinner, is going virtual this year!

Join us this Thursday, June 3rd from 7:00 - 8:00 pm from your dinner table (or wherever!) so we can eat "together" safely and share stories about family food traditions. This event is hosted by our 5th Grade Cookbook Team, and they will share more details about the special cookbook project!

We would love your family's food traditions to be part of the international dinner! The student hosts would like to show a collection of short videos made by Clinton families:a story about how a recipe came into your family, a demonstration of a specific cooking skill, or whatever you'd like to share! Please submit a video to cookbook@clintonelementary.org by Tuesday to be included!
