Here Are The Details:
While we are no longer hosting an in-person event for Clarke Night Out, we’ve come up with a new plan that we hope will be fun for everyone! We hope it will also help boost some of the local businesses that have been suffering since the start of the pandemic. We encourage you to make a reservation, go out, have fun, and participate in our silent auction fundraiser.
1. Bid! We invite you to participate in our online auction from March 14-24. The auction will end at 9pm during Clarke Night Out on Friday March 24. The auction will feature fun experiences for our students donated by Clarke teachers (including slime party, karaoke party, pizza poetry & pictionary, anime movie party, golf party, principal for the day), local area experiences, gift cards, a police car ride to school with one of Lexington’s finest, and more!
Clarke Night Out is our biggest event that supports our mission to improve the educational experience of all middle school students. All proceeds will be used for educational enrichment projects that will benefit the students, teachers and staff of Jonas Clarke Middle School. The PTO has fulfilled over $6,000 in teacher grants this year.
