π§ Dues at Work!
So far this month, the PTSO has supported the Clague Community in the following ways!
In-Classroom
- Purchased Kleenex, hand sanitizer and Lysol Wipes for every classroom.
- Purchased 700 Composition notebooks for our ELA and Science Teachers. Typically this purchase absorbs a large amount of their departmentβs budget from the district. With PTSO purchasing the notebooks the Science and ELA teachers can use their budget towards academic materials that will support and enhance their curriculums this year.
- Art Supplies for drawing and design.
Teacher Appreciation and Support
- Bagels and Coffee for their first day back
- Dinner on Curriculum Night
- Volunteer coordination for Fun Night, 7th Grade Book Bowl and 8th Grade Class trip
Beautification
- Clean up for the school courtyard - 15 yard bags of yard waste removed
- Flowers planted in the courtyard
- Flowers planted in front of Clague
Thank you to everyone who has paid their PTSO Dues! If you have not paid yours yet, there is still time!
Please go online ClaguePTSO.com or send a check into the main office Clague PTSO. The recommended amount is $50 per family. These funds go directly back into the school community this year!
And just a reminder that our general PTSO meetings are open to every Clague family β a great way to hear about the budget, ask administration questions directly, and have a voice in how funds are spent.
Our next meeting is Wednesday, October 21th at 6:00 PM at Clague or via web meeting. The link will be posted closer in to the meeting date. For the full year's schedule, visit our calendar on the website!
Warmly,
Christina Shinsky
Clague PTSO President
On behalf of Ruth Estabrook, Christy Deneke, and Suki Xu

π Volunteers Needed! | 7th Grade Book Bowl! π
Ms. McClean is in need of adult volunteers to coach our 7th grade Book Bowl teams!
We have 32 students that have signed up.
This means 4 teams of 8 students each, so she will need 4 coaches. The time commitment is one day a week (the day of your choosing) during advisory time (8:15β8:40) from the week of October 5th through December 7th.
All materials will be provided for the adult to coach the team and run the weekly discussion meetings.
The only outside ask is that they read the three books as part of the Book Bowl.
If you are able to help, please email her directly at mcleank@aaps.k12.mi.us
