Caruso Connect - February 3rd
Caruso Middle School is an inclusive and vibrant community where Blue Jays take ownership of their social-emotional and academic growth by supporting, challenging, and celebrating self and others.
Good Evening Blue Jay Families:
Last week we were asked by a parent why we include, at the very bottom of this newsletter, information about the Yearbook. (We have been including it since 9/2.) This will be the last time we include it so this would be your last reminder to order one for your student. Each spring, we are disappointed to let families know that there are no extra copies of the yearbook ordered. If your student would like a yearbook, take this opportunity to order it now!
Please make sure to check out our Blue Jays of the Week! We look forward to seeing your student(s) on Monday!
Enjoy your weekend!

Pack the Pantry
(Communicated 1/27/23)
DHS School Chest is looking to get your help to pack the pantry for those in need. They are looking for food and household essentials in the list attached below.
If you decide to donate some of these items, you can put them into the bin in the front entrance of Caruso.
The last day we will be collecting these items is Tuesday, February the 14th.
Unfortunately due to limited space, we cannot collect canned food.
