International Walk/Bike to School Day

 Wednesday October 8, 2013

If your child already walks or bikes to school, we ask that they do the same on October 8th. For all students and parents who are interested in participating in the Walk/Bike who do not live in walking distance of the school we can meet at two locations: the parking lot at Weaver Park, or in the parking lot at Fuddruckers on Charlotte St. Staff members will be at both locations by 7:15. We will leave both locations at 7:30 en route to Claxton.


The event is being organized by Claxton Elementary School’s Wellness Team. All students who participate will receive a bottle of water and a Cliff Bar.

For more information contact Coach Swain at Jesse.Swain@asheville.k12.nc.us or 828-350-6532

4th grade staff appreciation lunch: September 26th

sign up to Help!

It is time for the 4th grade families to show their appreciation. The next luncheon is scheduled for September 26th, which is also parent-teacher conference day.  We will serve sandwiches, fruit and chips and will be feeding approximately 65 staff members.

We hope you will help by preparing some of your favorite sandwich items and bringing in sides and toppings. Homemade desserts are always a favorite.  You could donate money or time if that is easier.  (Make a check payable to Claxton PTO with Staff Appreciation in the memo line.) Unfortunately, I have a work conflict on that date, so if anyone could help with clean-up, it would be greatly appreciated.

Please see the link below to sign up! If you have any problems with the document, please email Lisa Patton or me and we can sign you up for whatever you’d like.  Please be sure to include your e-mail address on the google doc. We will send reminders and other instructions as we get closer to the date.

The staff lines up for lunch and they are so appreciative of the efforts of the families. We hear many statements of amazement and gratitude! We thank you for your help in making the Claxton staff feel appreciated and we look forward to hearing from you.
