APRIL SHOWERS BRING MAY FLOWERS

April was a busy month.  In math class, the kindergarten students have learned how to add numbers.  In language arts, the students continue to improve on their journal writing.  The students have also shown excellent behavior in school, too.

STAND 4 CHANGE

The students in the Margaret C. Clifford School took part in the “Stand 4 Change” anti-bullying event with 1.3 million other students nationwide.  The students stood for a few minutes and listened to the “Stand 4 Change” pledge.  The reason for this event was to show our commitment to putting and end to bullying in our schools and communities.

FUN DAY

This year’s Fun Day will take place at the Margaret C. Clifford School on Friday, June 1^st.  There will not be a rain date.  If it rains, we will have the activities for Fun Day in the gymnasium.
