We would like to extend a heartfelt Thank You to the Clermont PTA and all of the Clermont families who showed their appreciation this week. We are so grateful for your generosity and support! Watch this fun video for some highlights! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5umWZ1CVBc

Miss Mac Award Nominations

Though Clermont is filled with exceptional teachers and staff, an award was established in 2008 to recognize one employee who has gone above and beyond for our students. The Miss Mac Award is named in memory of Clermont kindergarten instructional assistant Ashley McIntosh. The award recognizes a Clermont staff member who exemplifies the values Miss McIntosh brought to her teaching. 

All Clermont teachers and staff who have not won the Miss Mac Award in the last 7 years are eligible for this award. The deadline for nominations is Monday, May 23rd. The award will be presented at the final Clermont Elementary staff meeting of the school year.
