A Week Of Enthusiasm Before Spring Break
Dear Clairbourn Families,
This week was a great way to get ready for Spring Break. The middle school students who were part of the CAST performances did a fantastic job. The opening day matinee was met with rave reviews by everyone in attendance. The audience laughed out loud and was thoroughly entertained. Well done, CAST!!!!
It has also been such fun to see the activity in the auction. The opportunities for classes to get together, parents to enjoy fun activities, and children to learn new skills through donated classes, all while benefiting the school, are great! Thanks CFA for organizing all of these community building experiences and putting them into the auction!
And now, it is time for Spring Break! Just as it is important to work hard, make the most of opportunities, and dedicate ourselves to growth and progress, it is also important to rest, recharge, refresh, and play. I wish each of you a week of activities filled with joy and time to rest.
Happy Spring Break!
Amy Patzlaff, Ed.D.
