I want to send a reminder about the importance of remembering our Clairbourn Code of Ethics and its place in guiding our actions on and around campus. As a school, one of our core values is Citizenship. As a school, we teach our students about the processes of government, the citizens' responsibility to vote, and the importance of making choices that align with one's own values. As a school and faculty, we do NOT tell the students or our families who to vote for or share our personal political views. In the handbook, it says, "Students may not wear clothing advertising alcohol, tobacco, politics or displaying slogans or illustrations unsuitable for younger children." Please help us maintain our neutral environment by leaving all political clothing or accessories at home. 

 

I also need to send another reminder about driving and parking safety. It is vital to place safety for all higher than convenience or promptness. We have had reports of double parking, letting students off in the driving lane, and parking in red zones. Please show the children that we care about safety and responsibility. They are watching us.

 

Each holiday season, the CFA organizes a group gift card drive to help parents show their appreciation for our dedicated faculty and staff. Through our Group Gift Card Program, known as the Teacher Scrip, you can contribute to a collective gift for your child’s teachers, as well as recognize other faculty and staff who support your family throughout the year. Cards will be distributed along with a list of contributing families during the week of December 15.

Last week, our youngest learners and their families came together for the 7th annual Clairbourn Early Learning STEM Night for an evening full of exploration, creativity, and hands-on problem-solving. In the weeks leading up to the event, students were immersed in the engineering and design thinking process, learning how to empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test their ideas. Their challenge this year was to help Little Red Riding Hood save Grandma from the wolf by designing and constructing a basket that could zipline safely out Grandma's window using her clothesline.

Well done, Cougar engineers!
