From Head of School
Well Done, Cougars!
 Dear Clairbourn Families,
I want to wish each of you a relaxing, refreshing, and joyful vacation. I know I will enjoy mine. This is the season to celebrate with family time, sharing meals, and celebrating in whatever tradition your family honors. For my family, we enjoy playing games, eating food traditional for our family, sitting by the fire and sharing stories from childhood, and giving gifts we know others will love. To me, the children that get out of the cars each morning are my daily gift from you. Their smiles make me smile. Their enthusiasm to start the day gives me energy. Their joy in seeing friends gives me happiness. Their kindness for each other gives me such warmth and peace. These are the most precious gifts of all! Have a wonderful holiday season. See you in 2022!
P.S. Please remember to abide by the CDC travel requirements if your family is going out of state. Also, please remember to start school in January in our regular uniforms.
Amy Patzlaff, Ed.D.
