Misplaced items have been piling up at the Clinton Elementary Lost and Found! We would love for these lost items to find their way home. If your child is missing an item or if you recognize anything from the pictures below, please have your child take a look at the Lost and Found in the cafeteria. To help prevent missing items, please label your child's name on the tags of all gloves, jackets, boots, and hats.

Hello friends!
Do you have a gift list? Do you like to wrap gifts? Well, here's your chance to do both!
CMP will be at Barnes and Noble on December 22 from 1 pm until 5 pm with the Elementary School Chorus performing for the public as well. Your gifts can be wrapped for free or for a donation to Clinton Music Parents. Even if you bought some presents on Black Friday or any other time, bring them to BN on Sunday to wrap them up beautifully between 1 pm anf 5 pm. Your donation will be greatly appreciated. Please join me to spread the word and watch our youngest talents bring in some cheer for the holiday season!
Our CMP could use 1 adult volunteer/hour to help our Clinton students wrap gifts from 1 pm to 5 pm. If you are interested, please let me know a time spot!
Available spots:
1. 1 pm - 2 pm
2. 2 pm - 3 pm
3. 3 pm - 4 pm
4. 4 pm - 5 pm
Thank you so much for your help and consideration. The money CMP raises goes directly to the music students, music scholarship awards, summer scholarship awards, helps teachers fund some activities and instruments and much more. Your help is always welcome and appreciated.
Cheers and Blessings for a beautiful holiday season!
