CANS students will migrate to the former Clifton School building when all renovations have been completed, anticipated in 2019. In order to best serve these children and their families, CPS acquired the land and house adjacent to the school’s permanent home. CPS Facilities Department have been cleaning up the Farmhouse property in preparation for development of a playscape and improved egress to the expanded school campus which includes other education and recreation facilities in the heart of Clifton.

Trough an exciting array of flms, historic game footage and photographs, and a database of American Jewish ballplayers among other interactives, Chasing Dreams explores how baseball, especially for immigrants and minority groups, has played a crucial role in understanding, and sometimes challenging, what it means to be American. Organized by the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia, the exhibit is both entertaining and educational for baseball fans of all ages. Augmenting the exhibit are baseball arti- facts and memorabilia from the B’nai B’rith Klutznick National Jewish Museum. Tese collections are now housed at Te Jacob Rader Marcus Center of the American Jewish Ar- chives and the Cincinnati Skirball Museum.
