Welcome Back Clearwater Elementary STEAM Families,
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! As we begin our celebration of Black History Month, we have a meaningful opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of African American history, culture, and contributions. This month is a time to foster appreciation and respect for the richness of Black heritage and its lasting impact on our world.
Why We Celebrate:
- Honoring History: Black History Month allows us to reflect on the struggles, achievements, and resilience of the Black community. Learning this history helps build empathy and understanding among our students.
- Expanding Perspectives: By incorporating Black history into our learning, students are exposed to diverse experiences that broaden their worldview and enrich our school community.
- Inspiring Future Generations: Highlighting the accomplishments of Black leaders, innovators, and trailblazers provides students with role models who demonstrate perseverance, excellence, and the power of making a difference.
- Building Inclusivity: Celebrating Black History Month reinforces our commitment to an inclusive and equitable learning environment, ensuring all voices and contributions are valued.
Black History Expo/Peace & Unity Walk
Come out on February 15th and enjoy the Black History Festival hosted by the Perris Valley African-American History Committee. This community event is filled with resources, performances, food, local vendors, guest speakers, games, and more. See flyer for details.
A heartfelt thank you to the Paint with a Loved One Committee (Ms. Folker, Mrs. Mendoza, Ms. Prout, and Ms. Volpe), your dedication and hard work made this event a memorable experience for our community, and we deeply appreciate all that you do! Your efforts in preparing the cafeteria and creating a warm, welcoming space made for a truly special evening. Families had the opportunity to connect, enjoy each other’s company, and create a beautiful painting that will be cherished for years to come.
Attendance Matters - EVERY Day / La asistencia importa: ¡CADA día
There is so much learning going on every day at Clearwater - we don't want our students to miss a moment!

Students earn Splash Cash for attending school each day, and DOUBLE the Splash Cash if they are at school every day for the week - including Monday and Friday.
Se aprende mucho todos los días en Clearwater: ¡no queremos que nuestros estudiantes se pierdan ni un momento!
