Safety Tip of the Week
Anti-Bullying - Week of October 16th
STAND UP for Others Week
When you see someone being bullied, be brave and STAND UP for them. Bullies have been known to back off when others stand up for victims.
If you don't feel safe, get the help of an adult immediately. Be part of the solution -- not the problem! Take the Pledge today. Come and sign our big poster of the Anti-bullying Pledge.
International Festival - October 19th
The 2017 Caraway PTA International Festival will be celebrated on October 19th 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Get ready for a fun-filled evening with our Caraway families. We come together to share and celebrate the diverse cultures and countries represented at our school. There will be games, music and food to share. Learn about various cultures with us and travel around the world in our campus.
Lets join together and make Caraway a wonderful community for our kids.
If you have any questions or would like to VOLUNTEER at the event please contact our wonderful chairs, Mirna Carrillo at mirna.pcarrillo@gmail.com or Hanna Horsey at hannapog@gmail.com.
Since this wonderful festival falls on a wonderful event Diwali celebrated by many South Asian countries, we are planning to have a small 10 min special Diwali celebration at school as well on the same evening. If you are interested in having your kid perform in it (dance, music or any other art form) or if any other countries are interested to showcase other art forms, we can all celebrate it together, please contact gai3shan@gmail.com.
