Art in Action hosts art shows at local libraries, and our school is participating. You can view Clifford’s students’ masterpieces at the main branch in downtown Redwood City. Come support our students and the wonderful Art in Action program by visiting the children’s section of the library!

We also have artwork on display at Peet’s on Laurel Street in San Carlos.  Pop in, grab a drink, and thank them for hosting our kids’ artwork!

If you want to get involved–by helping out in class, for example, or securing venues where artwork can be displayed, or assist in hanging the artwork–please contact:

8th GRADE TRANSITION TO HIGH SCHOOL
Is your child talking about high school a ton? The good news is that many local public, private and charter high schools offer parent information nights and shadowing programs for 8th grade students. With the links below, find Parent/ Community tabs, look for key words such as “8th grade transition” or “parent information night” or “shadowing.” If you can’t find the info you want, call the school directly. Remember shadowing slots fill-up quickly.
