Thank you to everyone who made the time to come to Clermont's Thanksgiving Luncheon this week. It was lovely to see so many smiling faces among the students and visitors. This special event would not have been possible without the many parent volunteers who came out to help, and especially Jennifer Urbanowski and Ana Sady-Dubon, who coordinated this year's luncheon. We thank you! 

As a reminder, all schools and offices will be closed from Wednesday, November 27th through Friday, November 29th for Thanksgiving break. Classes will resume on Monday, December 2. See the complete 2019-20 school year calendar

We wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!
