Important Upcoming Dates
Dear Carman Families -
We hope you had a restful, enjoyable Thanksgiving break! We look forward to having everyone back with us on Monday, Nov. 29th.
Be sure to mark your calendars for the opening of our online spirit store! The site will be ready to take orders on November 28th, with online shopping available through December 12th. All orders and payments take place online and shipping will take 3-4 weeks, so estimated delivery to school will be early January. Please see the flyer to the left or visit www.SelectSpiritwear.com and click on Carman Trails Elementary.
For more dates and fun PTO activities, please see the "Dates to Remember" at the bottom of this Paw Print, including PTO Fundraiser Night at Red Robin on December 9th!
With CT Pride,
Dr. Love
