 Clermont Elementary's Bookworm Central Book Fair will be held in person next week, but we are in critical need of volunteers!
Help is needed in preparing for the fair and throughout the week it is open. Please consider volunteering your time so that we can make this event possible for our students!
Whether it is for an hour, a couple of hours, or for the entire week, your help is greatly appreciated. Whatever works for you! The book fair is a fun and rewarding volunteer opportunity, and we hope that you can join us!
Sign Up Today!
Questions? Contact Kannan Cangro, Librarian, at: kncangro@fcps.edu

Schedule
Tuesday & Wednesday: Students will preview the fair with their classes and create wish lists
Thursday & Friday: Shopping hours for students only during the school day
Friday: Family Night! Come shop the book fair from 4 - 6 pm! (Held in conjunction with PTA STEM + Families event)

 The greeting for Mardi Gras in French translates to "let the good times roll"! And that is just what we want to do. After a successful return last year, the Clermont Elementary PTA Silent Auction will return in 2024!!!! The event will be held at the beautiful ALX atrium in Alexandria (on the corner of Washington and Duke Streets) on Saturday March 9th at 6:00pm! There will be a live band (Diplomatic Immunity), plenty of delicious food and great drinks. The PTA Silent Auction is one of our largest fundraising events of the year. It allows the PTA to sponsor a vast number of programs throughout the year that benefit ALL Clermont students, including Enrichment Programs, School Field Trips, Classroom Instructional Supplies, New Technology, Assemblies, and more. Please click on the "Tickets" tab in the link to purchase your pass to this event and let the good times roll!
