The Clinton Township PTA works in partnership with parents, teachers, and the community to enhance the educational experience for all of our children. We are dedicated to promoting children's health, well-being and educational success through strong parent, family and community involvement. The PTA typically sponsors many activities and events for the students and families of Clinton Township School District throughout the school year, including a variety of age-appropriate social events at each of our schools, educational enrichment assemblies, "Gallery Time" art enrichment program, SixFlags "Read To Succeed" program, Science Night (showcasing local STEM organizations), Scholastic Book Fair, and our annual Holiday Secret Shoppe. The PTA also sponsors Staff Appreciation Week annually across all schools. In order to continue to provide all of this, and more for our students and staff, the PTA operates a variety of fundraisers throughout the year. We provide a number of different opportunities to support the PTA and hope that our families consider participating in one or more of these fundraisers, be it purchasing a Community Discount Card, delicious Gertrude Hawk confectionery, high quality Charleston Wrap gift wrap and homewares, or clearing out your closet to donate to our twice-yearly clothing drives. If you're a new CTSD family, please take the time to register on our website at: www.ctsdnj. org/resources/parent_teacher_ association to support our activities throughout the year and gain access to exclusive benefits such as our online student directory.
