Finally, while we’re on the topic of media coverage, in case you didn’t catch the CBS news segment in 2012, which focused on physical education at Clifford, view the clip here. You can enjoy hearing our very own students talking on camera, along with others, including our former principal, Mr. Phil Lind!
