Calling all student artists!  We are looking for some student's artistic interpretation of our Virtually Unstoppable theme to use in our yearbook!  While we will not be able to use the images for the cover, we will include the top-selected submission from each grade level as pages included in the yearbook.  Here is how you submit your piece of art for consideration:

Create a piece of art that embodies "Virtually Unstoppable" 

1. Take a photo OR scan the piece of art and email it to vpoutreach@clermontpta.org.  Please be sure to include your student's first/last name and their teacher's name in the email submission. 
2. The submissions will be considered and judged by the art teachers from Clermont Elementary.
3. A winner from each grade level will be announced, included in PTA Happenings, and included in the Yearbook!

Didn't make it to picture day? You can send your own picture for the yearbook!

2/18/2021 6:25 am

We understand that some students were unable to attend Picture Day to capture their school portrait.  We still would like all students represented in the Yearbook, and as such, will be collecting photographs from parents.  If you'd still like your student to be included on the portrait page of their class, please upload a photo, sized 4x6 portrait size, to https://bit.ly/CESYearbook. 

Please make sure that the photo file name includes your student's first/last name and their teacher's name.  If you have previously sent in an individual photo but did not include the student and teacher's name and/or did not size the photograph, please resubmit to the website.   

Please note that by sending the photograph in for consideration, you are granting permission to the PTA to publish the photograph in the Clermont yearbook and in other PTA correspondence.
