We hope you enjoy some much-deserved relaxation this weekend. Thank you for every share and donation you all have contributed to our fundraiser. We appreciate everyone’s support as we raise funds for a part time intervention teacher and device manager, campus improvements, and classroom support. If you haven’t signed up your student on mybooster.com, it’s easy to do this weekend.

Then, consider sharing with extended family and friends. And if you are able to, consider making a donation as well. Every share and donation adds up to make a BIG difference for our school.

If your family does get a donation this weekend, you’ll be part of the Weekend Challenge! Any student that gets $3 per minute or a total of $90 in NEW donations logged on mybooster.com will receive a BONUS prize!

Thank you for supporting our school. Have a great weekend! - Clayton PTA

Are you an engineer and want to share your love of engineering with our students? Well, we have a spot for you!

Nan Clayton Elementary is looking to ignite the spark of exploration and curiosity by hosting a school-wide STEM DAY engineering experience in February 2025. (STEM is science, technology, engineering, and math.) Our vision is that every classroom, PreK through 5th grade, will get to experience an in-class hands on engineering project hosted by an Austin engineer.

Last call for our Clayton students to sign up to perform at Clayton's Culture Night! Dance, Sing, Perform a Martial Arts Routine. All artistic representations of culture are welcome! Remember groups of 2 or more are what we are looking for!

Remember to sign up for a country booth and be a part of Clayton's Culture Night. We look forward to seeing all the amazing countries represented on Culture Night!

Yep, It is finally here! For those business owners out there, please sign up today for our sponsorship program and reach out to over 800 families in and around Circle C while supporting the Cardinals Education. This program year closes Nov 30th, 2024 to meet all deliverables so grab your spot today!

Follow the link HERE to view a selection of last year’s Texas PTA entries as examples! Any folder labeled “Primary” or “Intermediate” includes elementary entries.

Submission deadline is October 28, 2024
