CLIC Program at Proctor School
CLIC Program (Creative Learning Integrated Curriculum)
is a part publicly/privately funded program in its eighth year (started in 2011) at Proctor School in the Topsfield Elementary Schools. CLIC was created and run by educator Jen LaRussa until 2016. The CLIC Program was then run by educator Kristen Cahill. In 2019, Jen LaRussa returned to run CLIC .
