Thank you to everyone who attended the Barnes and Noble book fair last weekend. We are still waiting on final numbers, but it was well attended. We also thank everyone who advertised the online book fair to family and friends.

A very special THANK YOU! to Alicia McMahan and the strings students, they sounded so fabulous that the manager wanted to hire them on a weekly basis!

Thank you again to everyone for your support!


Bravo!

Congratulations to the Clermont Band, Strings, and Chorus for their outstanding performance at the Winter Concert last night!

Our students worked hard in advance of the concert and we are so proud of them! Of course, none of this would have been possible without the direction and guidance of their leaders, Mr. Nakamura, Mrs. McMahan, Ms. Flay, and Ms. Leftwich. We would also like to recognize Nancy Cox for serving as the accompanist for the concert, as well as Mrs. McMahan, Clermont's orchestra director, who guest conducted the Clermont Band while Mr. Nakamura is on military leave. 


Last Call for Lost & Found!

Outside, the wind is blowing.

Inside, Clermont's Lost & Found is overflowing! 

To stay warm over Winter Break,

Your children's lost items they must take!

 

Please note that all Lost & Found items not claimed by next Friday, December 20th, will be donated over winter break. Until then, the Lost & Found has been moved to the front lobby for your convenience. We encourage all families to check for any of your items before the break.
