The 2017-2018 CCS PTA Board would like to wish all of the Clinton Central School faculty, staff, and families a safe and enjoyable holiday season!

In this time of giving please remember we have many families in our community that will be facing financial difficulties. Our middle and high school offices are sponsoring several families for Christmas. If you would like to give to our community, please consider a monetary donation or gift card. Either can be dropped off in the high school guidance office. Thank you in advance!

California continues to battle the raging wildfires that plague many residents' homes and businesses. It is a natural disaster that has caused individuals to lose not only their homes and belongings but their memories and lives as they know it. Between the months of January and November more than 500,000 acres have burned and that number continues to grow. Recently more than 110,000 people have been forced to evacuate and almost 9,000 homes are without power. Winds are reaching speeds of nearly 85 MPH which is causing the raging fires to spread even further across the state.

Rachel's Warriors strives to help organizations both locally and around the world. We want to make a difference for those in need. In an effort to do this we are collecting monetary donations to help the California wildfire victims. Many of these individuals have faced great devastation and any contribution will help aid victims in their road to recovery.

Donations will be accepted through Wednesday, December 20th. All monetary donations can be given to Mrs. Ford in room 213 or Mrs. Hosey Pardi in the guidance office. We hope that you will join Rachel's Warriors in an effort to make a difference for the wildfire victims!
