A Message from our Chair, PAC

Michael Gill - Chair, PAC
As Chair of the Parent Advisory Council at Clear Water Academy, I would like to thank you for the many ways you support our school community. Your involvement truly makes a difference. When families participate—through volunteering, attending events, supporting classrooms, or helping with fundraising—they strengthen the heart of our school. Research consistently shows that students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally when families are engaged in school life. Your time, talents, and presence help create the welcoming, vibrant environment we all want for our children. Together, we model service, collaboration, and community for our students.
 
Blessings,
Michael Gill
Chair, Parent Advisory Council
