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!

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!
