A Camel Spotted On Campus!

Clifford's resident camel: Roaming on campus is a key character from Aladdin!

What, a camel at Clifford?!

Yes indeed. As momentum keeps building for Aladdin — opening night is tomorrow, February 7 — one of the furry stars of the show took a break from rehearsal to saunter around campus! Students, parents, teachers, and staff were delighted to meet such an exotic creature!

The camel was dreamed up and created by Clifford parent Sheila Bailey. Congratulations, Sheila.
