Clermont in the News!
 April is the Month of the Military Child! Every year we take the opportunity to recognize military-connected youth for their service and contribution to our community. We appreciate the varied life experiences they bring to our school community, and recognize their strength and resilience.
This Wednesday was Purple Up! Day in support of military children. At Clermont, we ended the day with a “clap off” parade honoring military connected students. Reporters from WTOP and WJLA news joined us for the occasion and interviewed members of our Military Kids Club. Check out the article from WTOP News linked below to read more!
WTOP News Article: At one Fairfax Co. school, military kids bond over shared challenges.
 Clermont students and staff proudly wore purple in support of military children this Wednesday, April 17th.
