A Special Reader
Essex County Freeholder Carlos Pomares had the pleasure of reading one of his favorite children's books, "Just As I am, The Story of Rusty Roy" to five classes at Clinton School. In celebration of Read Across America, he shared this story that featured his good friend Roy B. Yokelson and his car Rusty and Himself as Carlos the Cab. The story encourages acceptance for people who may be different than you. In this story, Rusty Roy was the only rusty car in the bunch of shiny cars. When Mack the Monster Truck ridicules Roy for being different, a fleet of shiny and restored cars (his pals) comes to his defense. It was great to see the students recognize the real-world application of the lessons taught in this story. In real life, Roy's car is very rusty...and, like in the story, beloved by his family and friends, including his pals at Bloomfield Cruisers.

Our Art Teacher - Miss Warshany
April 1st marked Miss Warshany’s 1st year at Clinton Elementary! Ever since she was in elementary school, she always dreamed about staying in the art room all day long- and now she does! The best part is Miss Warshany now gets to pass her love of art to all our students here at Clinton. This year has been filled with fun, creative, and colorful art projects! Stay tuned at the end of the year when your child gets to bring home their Art Portfolio filled with all the amazing artwork inside that they have made throughout the year!
As always, you can reach out to Miss Warshany with any questions or concerns at cwarshan@somsd.k12.nj.us
