"Flower Shower" on May 6 to recognize Clermont Teachers

4/28/2021 7:57 am

Please mark your calendar for our “Flower Shower” on Thursday, May 6, as our way to shower Clermont’s teachers and staff with flowers to show our gratitude. School is one of the places we see our children bloom so we thought using flowers would show our teachers and staff how much we appreciate the role they play in our children's lives. The PTA will purchase a floral arrangement for the school to be delivered on Thursday of Teacher Appreciation week and displayed in the lobby for all to enjoy, but also we are asking students to draw or create flowers for your teachers. Budding artists, feel free to draw flowers. Builders and makers, design flowers out of household or art supplies. Families may send in small arrangements or any creative idea to participate in our flower shower of gratitude.

Do you remember the 2020 Neighborhood Safari?  Well one year into this new way of life and we are bringing back the concept with a PTA twist!  As we all get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather, have your Eagle decorate your window with Ernie!  Here's how to participate:

1. Color or decorate the attached Ernie the Eagle (as many as you'd like!)
2. Tape them in your window or on your door
3. As you are enjoying the nice weather and walking around the neighborhood, keep your eyes peeled for Eagles in other people's houses!
4. Snap a photo of your student spotting other people's decorated windows (try not to include the actual house number in the photo).
5. Send them to vpoutreach@clermontpta.org, and they may be featured in upcoming Happenings!  
6.
