Our Centennial Annual Fund campaign was a remarkable success. This year, Clairbourn achieved 100% participation from current families during our three-week campaign. Our community not only celebrates 100 years of educating scholars and leaders with heart, but this milestone also reflects its deep commitment and generosity. Each gift, no matter the size, made a difference in helping us achieve this incredible result.

During Morning Assembly, in recognition of Hispanic Heritage Month, students shared what they are learning in their Spanish class with Profesora Lucas, showcasing creative ways to celebrate, honor and embrace Hispanic culture and traditions.

If you have not visited the glass display cases in the Robert Nafie Administration Building, please make sure to stop by and check out the amazing student artwork! Kindergarteners learned about abstract art and oil pastels. They discovered abstract art is a work made with lines, shapes, and colors, and is not seen the same way by all audiences. Students looked at Kandinsky's "Evenement Doux" from 1928 and took turns explaining what they saw. With Kandinsky's work as inspiration, they explored oil pastels for the first time, noticing that they are sticky and can blend very well, creating abstract works of art!

Our youngest Cougars in JPK and PK explored apples through many hands-on activities during the “All About Apples” unit. From creating fizzy apple volcanoes to spark curiosity, to tasting apples and discovering sweet, tart, and crisp flavors, the children engaged all of their senses. They also enjoyed apple painting, using cut apples as stamps to make colorful art together, baking mini apple pies from scratch, and exploring a sensory station with an “apple pie” theme. This learning unit combined science, exploration, and creativity while celebrating the joys of fall!
