The Clinton PTA’s Global Gratitude Tour: 5 Days, 5 Regions, 1 Amazing Staff

Our teachers spend every day opening doors to new worlds for our children, showing them that a brighter, more inclusive future is possible. This year, we’re honoring the educators who make our world a better place with a culinary journey that celebrates the beauty of our global community!

A Global Feast for Local Heroes

Pack your bags and grab your appetite! Our theme this year is a "Trip Around the World." Each day, we will touch down in a different region to serve a diverse spread of flavors—a tribute to the many ways our teachers broaden our horizons. From local favorites to international delicacies, this tour is our way of saying thank you for being a world-class staff.
