中学部学生在数学竞赛列名第一！尽管暴风雨很强，来自30多所学校的学生在2019年2月2日星期六参加博斯科(Bosco)科术数学竞赛并测试了他们的数学技能。
我们很自豪地宣布，Clairbourn六年级学生在博斯科(Bosco) 科术数学竞赛（小型学校部门）中获得第一名（连续二年）。我们的7和8年级学生也获得了第一名，很令人欣慰，因为去年他们与第一名的得分一样，但测试时间略长。

At Clairbourn School, we believe the engineers of tomorrow, who will shape our systems, machines, and infrastructures are in the process of awakening to their talents and life-purpose. The all-important spark destined to fire up their career dreams can come from anywhere, and often those moments happen at school thanks to an inspiring teacher, a visiting speaker, or a memorable project.
Most high schools and colleges do a good job of identifying and serving students with obvious STEM proclivities, but that can leave out a lot of students who have hidden potential in these fields. We all know of students who claim, “I’m not good at math” or “I don’t have a creative bone in my body,” but is that true? Could it mean that they lacked the opportunity at a young age to identify themselves as having those abilities?

Clairbourn很骄傲地宣布我们新的教育宗旨：“用心创造学者和领导者。”我们并没有改变自己，只是清楚地说明让大家都能理解。任何熟悉学校的人都知道我们的毕业生因这三个原因而脱颖而出。他们在学术上准备好在顶级地区的高中接受严格的训练，他们具备领导能力，他们有善良的心，有服务意识。这就是为什么其他学校非常喜欢我们的毕业生！这个新的教育宗旨*为我们的学生提供了一个强大的理想，并鼓励他们全方面的发展并成一个强大的个体。这些每个要素都能够提高学生其他领域的发展。
Clairbourn’s middle school is buzzing with the spirit of student leadership. We had an exceptionally large turnout of students wanting to serve their school as Student Council Representatives in this last election cycle. In fact, 37.5 percent of our entire middle school just ran for office!
Clairbourn is proud to announce its new mission statement: “Creating Scholars and Leaders with Heart.” We’re not changing who we are, we’re just stating it clearly for all to understand. Anyone who is familiar with the school knows that our graduates stand out for these three reasons. They are academically prepared to take on the rigors at top area high schools, they are equipped with leadership skills, and they have kind hearts that are service-minded. That’s why our graduates are in demand!
This new mission statement* presents a powerful ideal for our students and will encourage them to develop all sides of themselves into a powerful whole. Each of the elements listed can lead to strength in the other areas.

Today, we have in the center of the quad a stunning, mature Ginkgo tree that bursts into spectacular bright yellow color every winter and covers the green lawn in its soft, leathery leaves. But, this was not the first large tree of note on Clairbourn’s campus.
Veronica Farren is a talented Los Angeles-based muralist and artist who is enthusiastic about enriching the lives of students through her vibrant art. She creates custom artwork for schools and is happy to accomodate their particular style and standards, paint their ideas, or simply paint their logo.
Veronica’s most recent project is a stunning staircase mural for Clairbourn School’s students. The design reflects the student body’s love of reading and displays 18 of their favorite books. The mural concept was inspired by the “Stairs of Knowledge” at Lebanon’s University of Balamand. Continue reading “New Stair Mural for Clairbourn’s Middle School by Artist Veronica Farren”
The success of this performance made it possible for two students, Isabel C. and Kennedy K. (both now in 8th grade), to be encouraged to collaborate with teacher Cara Barker, during an electronic music elective held later that year, in composing and performing an original song for the 2018 Thanksgiving Assembly (with the music arranged by Cara Barker). The song is called “Give Thanks” and the piece has been copyrighted, published, and distributed through J.W. Pepper.
Thanks go to composers, including teacher Cara Barker and eighth-graders Isabel C. and Kennedy K., conductor Rosemary Kiertzner, and the musicians including teacher Mary Drazic on cello, teacher Ann Mize on violin, eighth-grader Andrea M. on cello, seventh-graders Jaleen Tseng and William Ho on violin, and alum Nicole Lam from the Class of 2017 on piano, along with students from 6th, 7th, and 8th grade in the chorus.

Andrea has been at Clairbourn for ten years, and she wanted to find a way to give back and show her gratitude for her time at Clairbourn. She had some money set aside that she earned from modeling in an Apple commercial when she was younger. She decided to donate the money to Clairbourn and asked that it benefit preschool students because she loved her time in the preschool.
