The 2017-2018 school year has been a very busy and successful year for the PTA and we couldn't have done it without your help!

The CCS PTA has had 205 PTA Members this year and 93 volunteers!

Because of your membership, fundraising, and volunteerism this year, the CCS PTA was able to organize and/or provide funding for:

We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable summer! We look forward to your continued support in the fall!

It was another successful year for the PTA's Ice Cream Social and Utica Bike Rescue's Bike Rodeo! Families came to the elementary school on June 14 for some free ice cream and to learn about bike safety! Volunteers from Utica Bike Rescue checked things like the fit of the children's helmets and air pressure of the tires. There was also a bike course where the children had to stay on the course, stop for stop signs, and look both ways before continuing. The children received a certificate for successfully completing the course. The CCS PTA would like to thank all of the volunteers that helped plan and run the events of the evening, Utica Bike Rescue for their amazing job putting on the Bike Rodeo, and Byrne Dairy for donating the ice cream and bowls for the event!

Clinton PTA offers the EduKit program as a convenient option for busy families to order their student's school supplies for the 2018-2019 school year. EduKits are custom made to include the supplies selected and approved by our school and shipping is FREE! A list of items included in each kit can be accessed on our school's ordering page at www.edukitinc.com.

To order there are two options:

1. Order online at www.edukitinc.com
2. Print and complete this form and return it to the school with a check made payable to "Clinton PTA". Return to school by June 20th.

Your student's order will be in the classroom on the first day of school.

Extended online ordering is available through EduKit's Last Chance program from July 1 through August 10th. Last Chance orders are subject to a $20 fee and will be delivered to the school before the first day.

As the end of the school year approaches, teachers and students will likely be looking to dispose of lots of used school supplies.

Rather than throwing them out, the following items can be dropped off in the bins located near the front entrance of the elementary school.

• Crayons
• Markers
• Highlighters
• Dry Erase Markers

The used crayons will be sent off to The Crayon Initiative to be recycled into new crayons that will be donated to children's hospitals!

Markers will be shipped to Crayola for recycling.

Thank you for helping to keep these items out of the landfills!

Box Tops are a great way to help earn money for Clinton Elementary just by clipping labels on products you may already use.

Here are some additional tips and information regarding Box Tops:

• Please note that the Box Tops program does not accept expired Box Tops.
