Stronger Together
Dear Clearview Families,
What an interesting week of weather here in Herndon! We experienced warm sunny days, pouring rain, and snowflakes. Temperatures ranged from degrees and sometimes changed over 40 degrees the same day.
Have a great weekend!

🥫SCA Canned Food Drive 🥫
The SCA is sponsoring a canned food drive to support Cornerstones. They have a pantry program that helps prevent food scarcity within our own community. Here is the information you need to know.
When – March 23-27
What – Collect canned goods. Most needed: beets, sauerkraut, chickpeas, diced tomatoes, mixed veggies, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste.
How - SCA reps will collect donated cans and bring them to the library for counting.
Why – Because we are amazing. Also, if we meet our goal of 600 cans, we will get a mini spirit week from April 15-17!
🙋♂️ Attendance Is Important!
Regular, on-time attendance is a key ingredient to your child’s success. Keeping in mind that students are to stay home if they have a fever (of 100.4 or above), vomiting, or diarrhea, attending school must be a top priority.
Children who show up for school regularly develop fundamental reading and math skills while building a habit of good attendance that will carry them into college and careers.
Visit the FCPS website for more attendance resources.
 Kindergarten attendance is 98 percent for the week and 84 percent year to date. First Grade is 96 percent for the week and 86 percent year to date. Second Grade is 94 percent for the week and 88 percent year to date. Third Grade is 98 percent for the week and 90 percent year to date. Fourth Grade is 96 percent for the week and 93 percent year to date. Fifth Grade is 92 percent for the week and 88 percent year to date. Sixth Grade is 95 percent for the week and 95 percent year to date. Whole School attendance is 95 percent for the week and 93.1 percent year to date.

🎨March is Time to Celebrate the Arts!🎨
The Council for Art Education (CFAE) administers Youth Art Month. Youth Art Month encourages support for quality school art programs, and promotes art material safety. The program provides a medium for recognizing skills developed through visual arts experiences unlike any other curriculum subjects, including:
Art shows, special exhibits, fundraisers, and school and community activities take place annually, traditionally during March, to celebrate visual art education for grades K-12. At Clearview, we have a talented, full-time art teacher, Ms. Kelly Fergus, who teaches art class during the day to students in grades K-6 and after-school art to students in grades 3-6. Clearview has a partnership with McLean Project for the Arts who will be facilitating Art About Our Earth after-school club beginning March 25.
March has also been designated by the National Association for Music Education (NAfME) for the observance of Music In Our Schools Month® (MIOSM®), the time of year when music education becomes the focus of schools across the nation. The purpose of MIOSM is to raise awareness of the importance of music education for all children – and to remind citizens that school is where all children should have access to music and due to the many benefits that school music brings to students of all ages. At Clearview, we have two talented general music teachers, Ms. Susanna Jacobson and Mr. Justin Kantor in addition to two talented instrumental music teachers, Mr. Darwin de la Cruz (orchestra) and Mr. Jonathan Blank (band).
Theatre In Our Schools (TIOS) is a celebration of theatre in our schools and schools in our theatres. Sponsored by the American Alliance for Theatre & Education (AATE) and the Educational Theatre Association (EdTA), the goals of TIOS are to raise public awareness of the impact of theatre education and draw attention to the need for more access to quality programs in and out of school for all students. Clearview has a partnership with NextStop Theatre who are currently facilitating Stars on Stage after-school club.
