The Power of Goal Setting - Head of School Dr. Patzlaff to Run Her Fourth LA Marathon
 Four-time Boston Marathon champ Bill Rodgers has wisely said, "The advice I have for beginners is the same philosophy that I have for runners of all levels of experience and ability: consistency, a sane approach, moderation, and making your running an enjoyable, rather than dreaded, part of your life." That's the same kind of wise approach fueling Clairbourn Head of School Dr. Amy Patzlaff's interest in running. She explains, "I like to run in races because they keep me motivated and give me a goal—and the goal for me is self-improvement...to perform incrementally better than in my previous races." In addition to the LA Marathon, some of her recent races include several 10K runs, and two Pasadena Half Marathons which she ran in 2018 and 2019. Her consistent and sane approach to training includes the following elements: • I plan the races I want to run • I set up a training schedule to meet my goal (which is usually to beat my previous time) • I work with a coach to push me and help me train safely and effectively
Pi Day in 5th Grade
Fifth-graders celebrated Pi Day with a "Digits of Pi" recitation from memory competition. Matthew G. won by reciting up to 144 digits and he then had the opportunity to pie his teacher's face as a fun and silly prize. Students also created and delivered a clever Morning Assembly announcement about the significance of pi to the student body. See the video below.
4th and 5th Grade Classes Raise $2,520 to Supply 96 Backpacks to Local Students
Working with the non-profit Sydney Paige Foundation, Clairbourn 4th and 5th-graders raised over $2,500 through their ‘5 Days of Fundraising.’ Activities included a student-run bake sale, a BLAZE Pizza night out, a Change for Change donation competition, and generous sponsorships from parents and the community. All proceeds will go toward giving backpacks filled with school supplies to 96 of Estrella Elementary students, who are considered most in need. “Through these private/public partnerships we are giving students so much more than a backpack,” says Ann Wohlstetter of Sydney Paige; “we are giving students the tools and confidence needed to learn and thrive in school.”
