Inside This Issue:



From the PTA
The Clinton Central School Parent Teacher Association (PTA) provides a very important and active link between school and home and promotes the welfare of students in our school system. Research shows that parental involvement in a child's education is critical to the child's success in school and later in life. We encourage you to become involved with our Clinton Central School PTA and to take advantage of the opportunities and programs we offer our children.

By attending meetings, volunteering and sharing your ideas with us, the Clinton Central School PTA can keep growing, changing and expanding to meet the needs of the local school community. Click here for the 2017-2018 membership form.

Please contact the PTA at ccsnypta@gmail.com if you're interested in volunteering or have any questions. Thank you in advance for your support!

Box Tops
Box Tops are a great way to help earn money for your child's school just by clipping labels on products you may already use. Here are some additional tips and information regarding Box Tops:
* Box Tops can be found on all General Mills Cereals, Pillsbury, Yoplait, Kleenex, Old El Paso, Nature Valley, Hefty, Ziploc, and many other household staples.
* Each Box Top you send in means 10 cents going back to our school.
* Box Tops For Education will not accept expired labels, so please check expiration dates before sending them in.
* Box Tops can be submitted in ziploc bags, envelopes, or attached to collection sheets.
* To download a collection sheet, visit our Box Top page here.
* Please label your submissions with your child's name and grade level.
You can sign up at boxtops4education.com to keep track of our earnings, shop the Marketplace for eBoxtops, and get coupons for your grocery shopping.
Last year our school earned over $1,300 from this easy and FREE fundraiser and we would like to earn even more money for our school this year.
Please ask friends, coworkers, and family to collect Box Tops as well!
If you have any questions or would like to join the Box Tops committee, please contact us at ccsnypta@gmail.com.
