A Note From the Library

To Fourth to Eighth Grade Parents:

An optional activity offered to our 4th-8th grade students during the Book Fair, is an opportunity to participate in a "Donuts & Discussion" session with our visiting author. 
 
If your child is interested in participating, you may order their chosen books using the attached form. We will be ordering the selected books and delivering them to the students the first week of school.
 
There are two significant benefits of ordering the books through the library: 1) These books will be eligible for personalization and autographing by the author during her visit.
2) A portion of the proceeds from these orders will benefit the Clairbourn Book Fair and the school library.
 
Please note the due date of Wednesday, August 21. Thank you for your orders! Click here to read the full announcement. For any questions, please email the librarian Mrs. Ward.

Welcome from
Clairbourn Families Association (CFA)

It's going to be an exciting and memorable school year!

We hope all of our Clairbourn families have had an enjoyable summer. To our new families, we extend a warm welcome to our Clairbourn community. Our strong and vibrant community is what makes Clairbourn special, and we’re confident you’ll love our school as much as we do. The Clairbourn Families Association (CFA) has been busy planning exciting events for the upcoming school year, including the Family Social, Book Fair, Entrepreneurial Fair, and Spring Carnival—just to name a few.
 
 
We encourage everyone to get involved, as we offer volunteer opportunities that accommodate any schedule. Your participation helps build community and shows our children the value of community involvement. It's also a wonderful way to meet other families and form lasting connections.
 
Please join us on the quad for coffee on the first day of school and at our first CFA Parent Meeting on September 17 to learn more about our Clairbourn community.
 
We look forward to meeting you or reconnecting!
