Attention Parent Volunteers!


This is a friendly reminder to everyone who plans to volunteer at Carson Elementary: please make sure that your volunteer applications are current.

LWSD volunteer applications are good for two years. If you applied when the program began, your term is up and you must resubmit your application. New and renewal applications take a couple of weeks to process. The process/forms are available on the District website at
www.lwsd.org. Only approved applicants may volunteer in the classroom and at school. This requirement applies to field trip chaperones, as well.

To verify your status, you may contact the school office or the District office directly. When volunteering at school you must sign in and out at the school office upon arrival and departure and wear a volunteer badge at all times.


 

 

 

Carson End of the Year Newsletter: It's been a great year!

Please celebrate the accomplishments of the founding Rachel Carson PTSA! Take a look at the Carson PTSA Year in Review Newsletter for a retrospective of this past school year and to get a glimpse of the year to come. For any questions regarding the newsletter, please contact Mary Mendlen.

I would also like to give a special thank you to the Carson PTSA Communications team. Thanks to Marilyn Bontrager for designing and administering the PTSA website and to Heidi Hodges and Juliana Pash for managing all postings to ParentOrganizer. They all worked very hard behind the scenes to make sure that the Carson community was kept informed.

Have a wonderful summer,

Mary Mendlen

KEEP CLIPPING BOX TOPS!!

Please continue to save your box tops throughout the rest of the school year and summer. The next contest will begin as soon as school starts in September.

Box Tops can be found on hundreds of different products ranging from food items, paper products, storage bags and baby care items. Clipping and collecting Box Tops is an easy way for our school to raise funds.

Besides clipping Box Tops, there are two other VERY EASY ways that you can help our school raise money through the BoxTops4Education program!

1) Reading Room: when you make an online purchase from Barnes & Noble via the "Reading Room" at www.boxtops4education.com, 6% of your total purchase is donated to our school!

2) Marketplace: when you shop online with many popular retailers via the "Marketplace" at www.boxtops4education.com, up to 20% of your total purchase is donated to our school!

Contact Vera Winslow with any questions you may have regarding Box Tops!!
