At the core of PTSA is our commitment to equitability and accessibility.
This last year we intentionally moved more programs to the school day to catch as many children as possible.
Instead of more after-school events, we opted to fund assemblies, for example.
And an important part of our event planning process is working with an incredible mom, Melissa Baksa, our ISET Ambassador, who advises on inclusion best-practices. It matters deeply that EVERY child feels that school is a positive place and we take our role in that seriously.
PTSA is above all an advocacy organization, and we invite our families to work alongside us to ensure that every Tiger feels that they belong at Carnation Elementary 
We still need volunteers for the Donuts with Grownups event!
Please help us make it a great event!
Every year, PTSA awards graduating Tigers with scholarship money to send them off into the world!
Congratulations Isaac Cardwell and Tyler Ingram, deserving recipients of this year’s CEPTSA Scholarship funds!
Best wishes and come back to visit!
Do you know an incoming Kindy student starting in the fall?!
We can’t wait to meet them at the Kindergarten Playdate!
Have you heard about Rec & Rally? It’s an open gym program on Wednesdays offering pickleball, ping pong and limited access to our climbing wall (based on volunteer availability).
Now open to elementary students and their families for a special trial period through June 11th!

It’s almost time for Donuts with Grownups on Thursday 6/12!
We still need more volunteers, please consider signing up to help if you can!

A heartfelt THANK YOU to all of our amazing volunteers!
Whether you gave your time in the classroom, helped at events, served as a lead for PTSA, or supported behind the scenes, we are so grateful for you. Your energy, ideas, and kindness helped make this school year stronger, more connected, and full of memorable moments for our students, staff, and families!
It truly takes a village, and we’re lucky to have the very best in Carnation! And a special shout out to Bakey Cupcakey for these beautiful thank you cookies (details will be sent to volunteers for when/where to pick one up)!
Our PTSA theme this year was Reading Rainbow: I Can Go Anywhere!
and we’re so excited to fund the gift that keeps on giving: BOOKS!
PTSA membership approved more than $4,000 in book purchases from next year’s Rad Reader list to flood every classroom this summer. Our hearts are full and grateful to be able to give this gift!
Thank you Tigers, and thank you Rad Readers team for such a thoughtful and impressive list of books our kids will thoroughly enjoy!
Exciting news Tigers! PTSA (with YOUR help) raised more than $50k this year!
We have been pouring it back into the school all year long, and are now so happy to announce BIG plans to cap off this year.
Announcing the WhirlyQ! This super fun playground toy will be installed (hopefully this summer) and we couldn’t be more excited for the kids. Whoo-hoo!
Remember when PTSA and KCLS brought children’s illustrator Olivia Sua to the school for an assembly?
She led the kids through a beautiful butterfly craft, which were assembled together in three large canvases.
We are excited that the nurse’s office (where kids often need a little extra TLC) will be forever brightened by the kids’ creations!
