This school year, CCS is participating in the Positivity Project. A different character trait or topic is highlighted and discussed at school each week. Families are encouraged to follow along with the weekly themes at home to further emphasize each topic. This week's topic is integrity.

As a celebration of the Curiosity character trait, Clinton Elementary students have written down questions that they are curious about. These questions have been displayed on a Wonder Wall. Each day, Mrs. Broccoli reads one or two of these questions on the morning announcements and provides a carefully researched answer. Mrs. Parker made a guest appearance on the announcements one morning to answer a question about who her favorite author is. (In case you're curious, it's Mo Willems!)
To demonstrate the Team Work character trait, CES students traced their hands on paper and cut them out. Some children colored, drew pictures, and wrote positive words on their paper hands. These hands were then collected and assembled to create a big, beautiful flower masterpiece in the hall.
Below you will find the dates of several upcoming school spirit days at Clinton Elementary:

Hamilton College Performing Arts presents the off-Broadway puppet play Chimpanzee on Friday, Oct. 25 and Saturday, Oct. 26, at 7:30 pm in Wellin Hall, Schambach Center for Music and the Performing Arts at Hamilton College.
Directed, created, and designed by Nick Lehane, Chimpanzee is a one-animal show starring a nameless chimpanzee in solitary confinement in a biomedical facility. The chimpanzee enacts recurrent memories of being raised by humans. The chimp is a puppet, manipulated by three puppeteers: Rowan Magee, Andy Manjuck, and Emma Wiseman. Chimpanzee shows the power of puppetry to elicit emotion without dialogue.
Lehane studied at the Moscow Art Theatre School and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Carnegie Mellon School of Drama. He researched true events while writing this play. Chimpanzee was the recipient of the 2019 Jim Henson Foundation Residency at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center.
Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for senior citizens and $5 for students. All seats on stage, with a limit of 90 seats per evening. Reservations are strongly suggested. This performance is suitable for ages twelve and over. Please call in advance to arrange handicapped seating.
