Fall Fundraiser Wrap-Up: Keep Shopping Online!

cool duck

Thank you to all the Clifford families who participated in the fundraiser.

The great news is that we are currently at $34,000 — getting closer to our $40,000 goal.

Mrs. Wilkerson’s class had the best participation, and Lauren Squire from Mrs Defouw’s 5th Grade class had the greatest number of sales. Orders and tangible prizes will be delivered on Friday, November 14th. Parents, please plan to walk in after school that day to pick up your child and help carry home all the goods!!

If you are available to help organize all the goods on Thursday, Nov. 13th or Friday November 14, please contact Julie Ulrich at Ulrichhome@comcast.net or Susan Leathers at susan.leathers@comcast.net.

More good news:

Clifford families can continue to shop online through the end of the year. So keep those shopping carts active! You will find beautiful wrapping paper, jewelry, tote bags, magazines, personalized products, photo books, and more.

See link below.

You will first be asked to enter your student’s name, and then you will land on the Clifford-specific page, and you can start shopping.

All your help directly supports the PTO in its quest to raise money for important programs at our school, such as P.E., Art-in Action, field trips, and science.

Thank you for your support.

Note: After clicking the button below, you shouldn’t have to enter any additional info beyond your student’s name, while shopping, but if you are prompted for the Clifford ID, it’s 3756228.

Enjoy this vision of artwork — in the section dedicated to Clifford Elementary School — in the Children’s Room at Redwood City’s Main Library downtown.

Thanks to Art in Action volunteers and the art show coordinator for making things happen.

1st Grade students' paintings are inspired by Marc Chagall's I and the Village.

The Art in Action program is still looking for parent volunteers to teach fun art projects — and for assistants in class — especially for 5th and 3rd grade students.

Please contact Kay at kaysuzu70@yahoo.com if you are interested in helping out.
