The CCS PTA Farm to School Committee, working with OHM BOCES Food Service and the Mohawk Valley Farm to School Initiative, has launched a new Harvest of the Month sampling program. Harvest of the Month is a Farm to School initiative that promotes a seasonal, locally grown item each month. A day or two before the Harvest of the Month is listed on the menu each month, the elementary school kitchen staff will prepare a batch of the menu item for volunteers to serve samples to students in the cafeteria. The idea is to encourage the students to try something new and maybe even choose it for lunch later in the week. Below is our sample schedule:

Menu Item	Sample Date	Date Listed on Menu
Asian Cabbage Slaw	December 18	December 20
Butternut Squash Soup	January 29	January 31
Mini Potatoes	February 26	February 28
Honey Carrot Bar	March 26	March 28
Black Bean and Corn Salsa	April 23	April 25
Cheesy Kale Bake	May 21	May 23
Cucumber Yogurt Dip	June 4	June 6

If you would like to join the Farm to School committee, please email us at farmtoschool@ccspta.info You can also help by encouraging your child to try the samples offered! Thank you for your support!

The honored Students of the Month exhibit excellence in academics, citizenship, and the core values of Clinton Middle School. Each student selected exemplifies a specific character trait that supports our positive school community.

The character trait for the month of October was sponsored by the Clinton Middle School student council. Kindness is being caring, compassionate, loving, and considerate. A kind person shows concern for the feelings of others and is helpful and generous. A kind person does good deeds without thought of reward. Teachers in each grade level looked for students helping others, students who display a positive attitude towards peers and adults, and students who consider the feelings of others.

The character trait for the month of November was sponsored by the Clinton Middle School student council. Gratitude is being aware of the good things that happen to you, and never taking them for granted. A student who displays gratitude takes the time to express thanks to peers, friends, teachers, and family members. Teachers looked for students who show appreciation, use manners (please and thank you), and who express how thankful they are for the positive things in life.

Every year during the holiday season the CCS faculty generously donates money as well as gift cards to a holiday gift giving bank. The donations are distributed to families in need the week before break.

We are graciously accepting monetary donations as well as gift cards through Friday, December 14. If you would like to contribute please drop off donations to the Elementary, Middle, or High School office.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact the appropriate Counseling/Social work office for more information.
