We plan to weed, add more compost, plant some seeds/plants for the spring, pick up trash, and feed the turtles! The club is offered for free, and we'd love your help donating snacks/supplies.

After a buzz-worthy inaugural year of the Clayton Caffeination Station, Nan Clayton PTA is teaming up again with community partners this school year to help keep the teachers' lounge stocked with the essentials... caffeine!

Local businesses (or Cardinal families!) can sponsor a month of coffee and tea in the staff lounge, and Clayton PTA will thank you by prominently recognizing your business in a variety of ways. Win/win!

Please see the attached Google form for all the details, or reach out to staffappreciation@nanclaytonpta.org with any questions.

Thank you for your help in supporting our amazing Cardinal staff!
