PTA Board Members Needed!

5/20/2026 7:32 am

🌟 Clermont Families — We Need You! 🌟

As we begin planning for next school year, the Clermont PTA still has important open board positions that need to be filled in order for many of our programs and events to continue. Right now, we are especially looking for volunteers for Treasurer and VP of Enrichment.

The Treasurer role is essential — without a Treasurer, the PTA cannot legally operate. This position helps keep our organization running smoothly by managing the budget, reimbursements, and financial records.

Our VP of Enrichment helps coordinate some of Clermont’s most loved family events and learning experiences, including Family Heritage Night, Math Nights, the Science Festival, and more. Without someone stepping into this role, these special events may not be able to continue next year.

You do not need to do it alone, and you do not need to be an expert. PTA board members work together as a team, and support and guidance are always available. Even a small amount of time can make a huge impact on our students, staff, and school community.

If you have ever thought about getting involved, now is the time. Help us keep Clermont’s traditions and opportunities going strong for our kids!

📧 Interested or have questions? Contact Diane Lundin at president@clermontpta.org.

We are incredibly proud of Team Eagle (Grades 3 & 4) from Clermont Elementary School for their outstanding achievements this season!

After months of dedication, creativity, and teamwork, the team earned:

🥇 1st Place at Regionals
🥈 2nd Place at the Virginia State Tournament

Because of their impressive performance, they have been invited to compete at the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals, taking place May 27–30, 2026, at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa—an exciting and well-deserved opportunity!

Why This Matters

Odyssey of the Mind challenges students to think outside the box, solve complex problems, and work collaboratively in creative and innovative ways. Team Eagle has been preparing since October, and this achievement reflects their hard work, perseverance, and imagination.

✨ This marks the first time this team is advancing to the World Finals—and they are building on an exciting tradition, following in the footsteps of last year’s Clermont 6th grade team, who also advanced to Worlds!

How You Can Support Team Eagle

Traveling to World Finals comes with significant expenses, including transportation, lodging, and competition fees. We are asking our community to rally behind these students and help make this unforgettable experience possible.

💙 Every donation—no matter the size—brings us one step closer to our goal.

How to Donate

Donations are tax-deductible through the PTA

Though Clermont is filled with exceptional teachers and staff, an award was established in 2008 to recognize an employee who has gone above and beyond for our students.

The Miss Mac award is named in memory of Clermont kindergarten aide Ashley McIntosh.

The award recognizes a Clermont staff member

who exemplifies the values Miss McIntosh brought to her teaching.

All Clermont teachers and staff who have not won The Miss Mac Award in the last 7 years are eligible for this award.

The deadline for nominations is Monday, May 18, 2026.

We will evaluate all the submissions and present the award and a check for $500 to the recipient at the final Clermont Elementary staff meeting of the school year!

For more information about the Miss Mac Award, nominee criteria, and to submit your nominations visit the PTA website: https://clermontpta.membershiptoolkit.com/miss-mac-award
