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
Cucumber Yogurt Dip	June 11	June 13

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 May sponsored by your student council was leadership. Leadership is encouraging a group to get things done and preserving harmony within the group by making everyone feel included.

The 5th grade Green Team students met on Tuesday to check on the “compost in a bottle” and to transplant the tomato seedlings. The compost experiment worked and they were able to add some compost to the raised beds behind the school. Despite the rain, they were also able to get the tomatoes planted! Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Moshier for getting the beds ready for planting.

At each school board meeting, CCS Superintendent Dr. Stephen Grimm presents "Bright Spots", highlighting activites at each of the schools and important information throughout the district. Below are the Bright Spots that were presented at this week's BOE meeting. The public is welcome to attend school board meetings to learn more.

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!

Friday, June 21st through Wednesday, June 26th will be half days for students in grades K-8.

The high school's LEAP Club (Leaders in Environmental Awareness and Protection) is proud to announce a new recycling initiative for personal hygiene/beauty products and packaging. For each item that that we recycle, we will earn money towards a charity that digs wells for communities in developing nations. If everyone in our district contributes 20 items, the profits will provide 200 people with a year's worth of clean drinking water. Place your used products and empty containers in the collection boxes in the high school office, middle school office, and elementary school hallway (beside the boxtop collection box) to alleviate thirst and keep these items out of our landfill!

Accepted Used Items

• Toothbrushes
• Toothpaste tubes and caps
• Floss containers
• Deodorant containers and caps
• Hair product tubes and caps
• Soap/lotion/shampoo dispensers
• Hair spray triggers
• Chapstick/lipstick tubes and caps
