As a part of the PARP program, the PTA funds an author visit. Last week, children's author Holly McGhee visited Clinton Elementary. She read and discussed "Come With Me" to the students, as well as gave a sneak preview of not-yet-released book “Listen”, also illustrated by Pascal Lemaitre. McGhee also discussed a myth about a hummingbird trying to put out a forest fire one drop of water at a time that inspired "Come With Me" and its message — that even small efforts of kindness matter. Students worked with her to brainstorm ways that they can use the postcards she gave to each class to make the world a better place. Thank you, Mrs. Parker for organizing this event.

On May 10, CCS Faculty and Staff were honored at our annual Staff Appreciation Luncheon! On behalf of parents in the district, we would like to say thank you to all of the teachers, bus drivers, aides, custodians, crossing guards, nurses, secretaries, and others in the district that work together to educate our children, take care of them, have fun with them, and keep them safe every day. They say it takes a village to raise a child and we are very fortunate to have all of you as part of our "village".

Also, we would like to thank all of our PTA volunteers that worked together to make this event a success and all of the parents that donated gifts to be given as door prizes. Special thanks to Nina Bremer for catering and organizing the event, Carla Pascucci for organizing desserts, and Barb Owens for organizing and distributing the gifts.

If, by May 24, 2018 the District has not been forced to use the one remaining emergency day, then school will be closed on Friday, May 25, 2018. Should an additional emergency day be used before May 24, 2018, then May 25, 2018 will be a day of instruction. Information will be circulated immediately if that becomes necessary.

Recently a select group of seventh graders traveled to OHM BOCES and explored various careers within the construction industry. Students received hands on experience and spoke with local carpenters, electricians, heavy equipment operators, masons, general contractors and more. Students were shown that there is something for everyone within the diverse field of construction and a great demand for new professionals!

2018 is a special year for the KAC Run & Walk. We are celebrating 40 years of this great 5K road race on Saturday, June 2nd in the historic village of Clinton. A lot has changed over the years but the KAC has been a staple in the community throughout.

What was happening back in 1978? The Garfield Comics by Jim Davis debuted, and John Paul II became the Pope. Cult classics like Grease and Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope hit the big screen while the Bee Gees’ Night Fever and Stayin’ Alive graced the airwaves for the very first time. Argentina won their first World Cup, beating the Netherlands 3-1 and Space Invaders created a huge market for video games in America. Feel free to wear your 70’s gear for the race!

This year’s race includes a 5K at 4:15pm beginning on Chenango Ave, a One Mile Kids Run (13 & Under) at 3:30 on Chenango Ave, and the KAC Youth Run at 3:00 at the Clinton High School Track for a variety of ages groups. There will be an awards ceremony on the green at 5:30pm. In addition to the competitive race events, the Kirkland Art Center will bring a host of activities and entertainment for the whole family at Clinton’s Village Green.

The Festival on the Green runs from 12:00 - 3:00pm. Join in on the games and activities for children, music and dance performances at the Gazebo and the 4th Annual Baking Contest at 1:00pm. For more information on how to submit your baked goods, or how to enter for a chance to become a guest judge please visit www.kacny.org or call 315.853.8871.

Register early at www.kacny.org for discounts. The 5K Race is $25 and the 1 Mile Kids Race is $15 before May 17. Prices increase to $30 and $20 respectively. The Youth Races are free for all participants.
