SADD has several Arrow Elite Calendars which are available for purchase. These calendars portray Clinton High School
students who were selected by the faculty and staff because of their involvement in numerous school activities,
extracurricular and community projects, character, and being good role models. The proceeds from the sale of Arrow
Elite Calendars will go toward Clinton High School's donation to Blair Batson Children's Hospital. If each of the fifty
students who were honored by the faculty when they were selected to appear on the calendar had purchased a calendar,
then we would automatically already have $750.00 toward the goal of this project of $2,250. Unfortunately, this has not
happened. Teachers and other students at Clinton High School are encouraged to support Blair Batson Children's
Hospital by purchasing calendars. Calendars cost only $15.00 and can be purchased from Mr. Beasley in Room E111.
Classrooms could collect money to purchase individual room calendars as one option. Teachers can also use this time as
we approach Senior Awards and other honors to see if those we have honored in the past really deserve the honor. Do
the students we nominate and honor at Clinton High School really deserve our recognition or do they simply want
something to put on their resume or applications? Let's really think about our role models. Who will step up to the plate
for Blair Batson Children's Hospital and help SADD make a homerun
donation???????????????????????????????????????????????
Remember, it's for the children, now and in the future!
