Second Grade Storm Chasers

Once again I want to show off the wonderful work our students are doing! Second graders are perfecting their writing skills by describing storms and their impact on their environment.
Students worked through the writing process from start to finish, and were expected to fill out a self-assessment rubric. Here are just a few!

2013 Volunteer Luncheon

Thank you to all of our volunteers from this year! We have had parents, family members, and community helpers who have given their time and support to everyone at Clifton Hills, and we wouldn't be the school we are without them!

Here are some pictures from the Volunteer Luncheon that was held this past Tuesday.

*Special thanks to Ms. Williams, Mrs. Smith, and Ms. Toles for working so hard on the place mats and flower pot center pieces!*
