From Head of School
Grateful For Our Community
Dear Clairbourn Families,
Many of you have been asking about school uniforms. Starting in January, we will be requiring our regular uniforms for all students. This means you can purchase your tan or navy blue pants or shorts that look like the Lands' End versions at Lands' End, Target, Old Navy, or any store that sells the same style. The tops should also be uniform type. We now have an additional vendor ready to add logos onto the polos purchased from them or from another source (including Lands' End). Please plan ahead and make sure to get your uniforms before we come back to school in January. Additional information about uniforms is below.
A huge shout out to the CFA and Sugar Plum Chairs for the amazing event they have planned for tomorrow. It is a great opportunity to do a little shopping, meet other Clairbourn parents, and support the students by helping to put together the traditional Sugar Plum gift. I can't wait!
I am also sending a huge shout out to the Student Council. It was so fun to see the variety of holiday outfits worn today. I love to see the creativity and joy expressed by each student. Thanks, Student Council!
Amy Patzlaff, Ed.D.

We are proud of our Clairbourn students for the acts of KINDNESS they demonstrate everyday in sports, in classrooms, and toward their peers and teachers. There is no kindness that is too small to give. It could mean the world for those who need it!
