Message from the Principal
Seeing Carlton families at the USD Creativity Showcase / Health and Wellness fair on Saturday was wonderful. At the fair, there were a variety of activities and informational booths. Students demonstrated their creative talent through art, poetry, music, and more.
On April 28th, families will have another opportunity to see performances and art at the Carlton Multicultural Family Night. Students are invited to enter the poetry contest. (See flyer below). Parent/guardians are invited to host a cultural booth. (See flyer below.). This is a wonderful way to build awareness and appreciation for different cultures.
We hope to see you at the HSC Chef's Night Out on Tuesday, April 4th, at Chipotle. Part of the proceeds will be donated to our Home and School Club. Be sure to show them the flyer below.
Next week is Spring break. We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable week. We look forward to seeing everyone back at school on Monday, April 17th.

Principal
Fourth Grade Bike Rodeo will be on Tuesday, April 4th
