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!

Happening at the Kirkland Town Library

Friends of ABC Extravaganza - Saturday, October 14
Purchase your tickets early for the party of the year!
Last year's event sold out quickly, so do not delay.
Get ready for a groovy night with friends filled with live music, truly unique auction items, a signature drink, and hors d'oeuvres. The ABC Program of Clinton and the Mohawk Valley is celebrating its 45th reunion this year. In honor of this milestone, we are partying 1970's style. Dig those bell bottoms out from the back of your closet and come celebrate with us! (70's attire welcome, but not required)
