GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

Fall Fair
Claremont's Fall Fair, in support of Tour de Rock, is taking place on WEDNESDAY.  There will be 350 elementary and middle school students here during the afternoon for a special session of the fair. We ask that if you are not volunteering during the session, to please avoid the areas of the fair as they will be very busy and crowded.  The fair will be open to the general public and all Claremont students immediately after school, until 8:00pm. There will be tons of things for you to do and play, including Hamster Balls, giant sling shots, an inflatable obstacle course, video games, a bbq concession and much more!
