Little Tor Elementary School held its Spring Instrumental Music Concert on May 16.
The Clarkstown Central School District is where students become well-rounded, critical thinkers who are able to communicate effectively and become responsible, ethical, contributing members of a global society. As life-long learners, students will be able to use their respective talents and skills to collaborate, innovate and positively change their community and the world.
