Clipper Sipper at Grafton Middle School for Rising 6th Grade Parents The last Clipper Sipper Meeting at Grafton Middle School will be held Friday, May 16th, at 9:00 a.m., in the Kiva. This is a perfect opportunity to meet the principal and guidance counselors prior to your child attending the school. The meeting is no longer than an hour and a half. Dr. Holler will talk about summer opportunities for the students and information about next year. You will then have an opportunity to ask questions about anything. Our PTA executive board for the 08-09 school year will also get voted in. We will have refreshments and door prizes that day as well. Please share this information with any parents of rising sixth graders. If you do not know where the Kiva is, simply go to the office and they will direct you upon signing in.
We look forward to seeing you.
Nancy Lazarus
PTA President at Grafton Middle School
