Carus School News
Hello Carus community,
Thank you so much to everyone who donated to this year's Jogathon! We had perfect running weather on Friday, and thanks to kids' efforts and your generosity, we raised $20,987, exceeding our school wide goal! Get ready, staff — it looks like someone's getting a pie in the face!
Don't forget, there's no school this Friday, October 8. Staff will be participating in professional development and preparing for fall conferences the following week.
Enjoy the rest of your week,
Sam Thompson
Reminder: Smart Start Sweepstakes
Message from Mrs. Ackerman
We are so fortunate to be a part of such a caring and supportive community. Carus partners with some amazing local organizations, parents, staff members, churches, and businesses to help assure that all of our students have their basic needs met. Please take a moment to read about the following opportunities:
- Backpack Buddies: Students who are registered for this program will receive a bag of food containing snacks, breakfast items, and lunch items to take home over the weekend. These bags are delivered from The Canby Center on Thursdays and given to students on Friday. If you would like to participate in the program, please email Mrs. Ackerman or call the office.
- Clothing Explosion Event: We are purging and re-organizing our Clothes Closet and want to give students an opportunity to take home the excess clothes that we don't need or have room for. If you would like your child to see if there are some clothing items they would like, please let Mrs. Ackerman or your child's teacher know! Just send us an email or a message on Remind.
- Giving Tree: If you are in need of assistance for food, clothing, and/or gifts during the holidays, we are taking referrals and nominations for our Giving Tree starting today! Please contact Mrs. Ackerman via email or call the office to apply or refer a family.
