 Silent Auction Gala – Tomorrow! 🤠
The Clermont PTA Silent Auction Gala is tomorrow, Saturday, March 7! There is still time to purchase tickets and join us for a fun evening with great food, drinks, live music, dancing, and time to connect with fellow Clermont parents, teachers, staff, and community members.
Even if you can’t attend the Gala, you can still participate as a virtual bidder and win amazing items, experiences, and teacher treasures in the auction. The online auction is open now and will close at 9 PM during the Gala, so be sure to get your bids in before it ends!
Don’t miss your chance to support Clermont students while being part of one of the school’s most exciting traditions. 🎉
And remember… if we hit our stretch goal, we’ll be able to replace the large outdoor tent damaged in the recent snow/ice storm — a space our students use for lunch, learning, and activities.
The Silent Auction Gala will feature delicious food and drinks, a live band, dancing, unforgettable moments, and a complimentary photo call from 6–7 PM with high-quality professional photos — all coming together for an incredible night you won’t want to miss. 🎉✨

Fairfax County Health Department Measles Update
Measles is a highly contagious virus that infects 9 out of 10 people who are exposed, if unvaccinated or not immune. It has been in the news lately due to cases in Northern Virginia and among people who have traveled through local airports.
If your spring break or summer plans include traveling abroad or to an area in the United States with high measles activity, the Fairfax County Health Department encourages you to ensure your family is protected. Children 12 months and older should have 1 or 2 doses before traveling. Depending on your specific travel plans, your health care provider may also advise you to vaccinate infants 6 to 11 months old. Read more about these recommendations.
