Support Carnation and join the Turkey Trot! Gather your flock and join the First Annual Carnation Turkey Trot at the beautiful Remlinger Farms. Join fellow runners, joggers and walkers in some lighthearted fun while supporting the Carnation Chamber’s mission of supporting the businesses of Carnation, and strengthening the community!

The 5k course will take you all along the country roads and paths on the farm. No cars will be on the course. The kids’ dash is about 100 yards and will be held right before the 5k so everyone can be there to cheer on the little Gobblers!

See you on Saturday November 18th! (before Turkey Day)

We are so excited to see the demo starting on the playground! CE families have been working toward new playground equipment for years and Phase 1 is coming to fruition this week!

Stay tuned for the “after” photos!

We had a great time meeting so many families last week at Curriculum Night! Thank you again so much. We have a low key option for volunteering this year as classroom liaison between parents and PTSA, and still have several slots available! Please consider grabbing a slot for your child’s classroom, the following list is the teachers who do not yet have a liaison, so please email us at ceptsa@outlook.com if you’re interested.

Our Transportation Team is helping make this a great beginning to the school year. A few quick reminders for parents to continue making the transportation experience to and from school running smooth.

• Parents should arrive at the bus stop at least five minutes early in the morning and afternoon.

• Kindergarten students will not be released from the bus unless a parent or approved guardian is at the bus stop at the time the bus stops to drop off the student.

• Bus passes are required for all students who are riding a different bus or departing at a different bus stop.

• Bulky items that are not safe on a school bus are required to be transported by parents.

• In the event that a student is suspended from riding the bus, parents are required to provide transportation to and from school.

Should you have any questions for our Transportation Team, please visit the Transportation Center website: https://www.bus.rsd407.org/ or call (425) 844-4540 during regular business hours.
