Thank you to all who came out for our Knights Reunite event last Saturday. We hope the school tours and areas for asking questions about school forms, joining the PTA, donating to the Claremont fund, buying swag, and PE uniforms were helpful. It was nice seeing everyone together again. Go Knights!

THANK YOU FROM MR. MAYER, TEACHERS, & STAFF
Hello Fabulous Parents and PTA,

I just wanted to take a moment and thank you all for your generous donations to both Claremont families for the holidays as well as for raising money to give our whole staff Amazon gift cards for the holidays. We appreciate your support so much and couldn't do many of the things we do without the parents' support — both time and money — that you all provide to our families and staff.

We hope you all have a wonderful holiday!

In partnership,
Mr. Mayer
