Clearview students swinging into the weekend! ☀️
Clearview students participated in a bingo reading challenge during the month of February! 📚
For each bingo, students were able to pick a prize from the Reading Bingo Prize Box. Students were able to complete as many bingos as they wanted during the month. If they filled up one card, they were able to get a new one and start over!
The Bingo card included different reading activities, such as reading a book with a specific color cover, reading on your bed, reading in your best monster voice, reading a silly story, and more. There were lots of different ways to read a book!
Twenty students completed the challenge by completing at least one bingo on their card. These students were recognized with a certificate, prize bag, and book!
During our celebration of Read Across America Week, the Martinsville Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. visited Clearview Early Learning Center for one of our favorite traditions!
Students were given the opportunity to browse through a selection of books donated by the Deltas and select one to bring home with them. The organization has been donating books to our youngest learners for more than a decade.
Thank you all so much for sharing your love of books with our students and for your continued partnership with MCPS!
☘️ This morning, a beautiful rainbow briefly appeared over Patrick Henry Elementary School! One lucky leprechaun was outside to witness the magical moment.
Instances like this that remind us that our schools are not just places of learning, but treasures in our community, just like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! 🌈🌟
Please remember that MCPS will dismiss students 2 hours early on Tuesday, March 14.

📚 "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go." -Dr. Seuss, "I Can Read with My Eyes Shut!"
Last week, MCPS celebrated Read Across America Week!
Teachers welcomed special guest readers from our community including school board members, school administrators, city council members, firefighters, police officers, high school student athletes, and many more, all of whom took time out of their busy schedules to come read to our students.
Thank you to all those who came to share their love of reading with our students!
Our CELC students and staff were decked out in their Seussical best this morning for a special green eggs and ham breakfast in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday!

MCPS parents, guardians, and students,
As we approach Valentine's Day, please remember MCPS policy regarding gifts and deliveries:
💌 Schools cannot accept deliveries of Valentine's Day gifts as we do not have staff available to receive the deliveries.
🎈 Students are not allowed bring balloons to school, as they can obstruct staff's ability to see on buses, in hallways, and in classrooms.
💐 Glass vases are not permitted in schools as they can pose a danger if dropped and broken.
Thank you for your understanding and your cooperation!
Did you know that February is National Children's Dental Health Month? 🦷
This week at Clearview, Nurse Turner has been visiting classrooms to help students learn about the importance of taking good care of their teeth.
Students learned that "Clean Teeth are Happy Teeth" 😁 and participated in fun activities learning how to clean their teeth properly.
Each student also received a new toothbrush! 🪥
Congratulations to Emmett and Nolan, the Boys & Girls Club's Students of the Month for December and January! 💫
