PTO Board Nominations Needed!
Parents -
We need to fill some PTO board positions for next year! Please use this form if you are even slightly interested! We have all kinds of ideas to make sure each position has lots of support. We can't continue to provide fun, community events, initiate new capital improvement ideas, and most of all, support our awesome students and teachers without volunteers!! Nominations are due by Monday, 4/25.
Children's Used Clothing Needed
Dear Carman Families,
Doing some spring cleaning? Please consider donating any used clothing to the nurse's office. We are especially in need of pants and shorts for boys and girls of all sizes.
Thank you!
