Clairemont Day at the Bay - Apr 18
| | 
The Clairemont Hills Kiwanis is preparing to hold the 3rd annual Fast Times 5k run that will be followed by the Clairemont Day at the Bay program, an activity based event that will bring nineteen public schools from the community together. The Clairemont Mesa Education Foundation is working with several local organizations and the schools to set up family focused activities and showcase the schools for the community. Our first two annual events were wonderful successes and we are adding more for the community to enjoy. The races will begin at 8:00am and will end by 10:00am when the fun time activities will begin. Click here for more information.

| Character Counts - Fairness - April 28 | |
This year, Holmes is implementing the Character Counts! character
education curriculum. This program has identified universal values
referred to as the "Six Pillars of Character" which include:
- Trustworthiness
- Respect
- Responsibility
- Fairness
- Caring
- Citizenship
The school Counselor will be visiting each classroom once a month to
present lessons on the different character traits. Teachers will align
their "Caught-Ya's" to include these character traits.
There will also be a "Color day" each month where the entire school is
encouraged to wear a specific color that represents the character trait
being focused on that month.
On Tuesday, April 28th, please wear ORANGE for Fairness!
