CLINTON TOWNSHIP SCHOOL NEWS www.ctsd.k12.nj.us A L e t t e r f r o m Dr. Drucilla Clark, Superintendent of Schools "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." –Nelson Mandela Dear Parents and Community Members: Congratulations to the Clinton Township Middle School Class of 2013! This is a class that has raised thousands of dollars for charitable causes and won countless honors. They are the class that presented the musical production of Willy Wonka which turned out to be a good omen for their future, because it will be that history of hard work, service and pure imagination that has prepared them for many of the challenges they will face in the future. I expect great things from these students. When you speak with them you can't help but be impressed with their intelligence and caring hearts. They will need to be resilient and be able to bounce back from the setbacks we all face in life. They will need to remember who they are and where they come from and how many people love them, especially when life doesn't hand them that golden ticket to the chocolate factory. C l i n to n Town s h i p Sc h o o l However, if they remember their good experiences in school, the ones that made them feel special as well as the families of teachers and administrators and parents who will always be there for them and use their imaginations to set dreams in motion – then they might realize that the golden ticket was right in their hands all along – they just didn't see it. The Clinton Township School District and Board of Education wish all of our 2013 graduates great success and happiness. We are proud of you now and always will be! Sincerely, Dr. Drucilla Clark, Superintendent, Clinton Township As always, any additional questions may be sent to the Superintendent, Dr. Clark at: dclark@ctsd.k12.nj.us Di s t r i c t Mi s s i o n S tat e m e n t Have a Happy, Fun and Safe summer ! Sincerely, The Clinton Township School District, in partnership with the community, achieves excellence for each child by ensuring a CTSD meaningful and challenging educational experience in a supportive environment, developing life-long learners who are responsible and productive citizens.
