Coffee Chats

October 14, 2021
As part of building a strong foundation for all our students, PTSA wants to connect with you. Join members of the Board for an informal chat on Saturday, October 16 at 9:30am. Bring a coffee or preferred beverage, a chair, and meet us at the Tolt Commons weather permitting. This will be a recurring event so if you cannot make this month, no worries. This is not an official meeting but rather a chance to bring any questions, get to know fellow parents, and discuss any ideas you might have for the upcoming year.
Hope to see you there! There might even be a treat involved.

Reflections Reminder

October 12, 2021

WHAT IS REFLECTIONS? 

The Reflections Art Competition is a National PTA program that starts at the school level. Each year students are invited to create original works of art around a theme. Pieces are evaluated by local artists and art educators. Top scoring works advance to the district level with the opportunity to advance to the state and even national level of the competition. And yes, we have had Carnation Elementary students compete at the national level!

Its a year to connect and build not only each other up but also to build a strong foundation, tackle obstacles and create. For the remainder of the year, PTSA will present a monthly Connect Challenge for all students to show us their innovation skills and masterpieces.

You can use Legos, popcicle sticks, blocks, Lincold Logs, paper and colored pencils or anything found around the house. Let’s see what you can do – this is your challenge to make and amaze others.

OCTOBER’S THEME: Create a pumpkin or other representation of Fall. 

Enter the Connect Challenge on the Facebook post or email your entry to carnationelementartyface@gmail.com. Entries must be received by the 15th of each month. Please include student name and teacher. Winners will be drawn randomly every month for prizes. Let’s get building and connecting!

The 2021 Legislative Assembly! 

October 5, 2021

Legislative Assembly – Lend your voice! The 43rd Annual Legislative Assembly will take place in a virtual format on October 23 and 24, 2021. The purpose of the legislative assembly is to determine the legislative priorities of WSPTA, to educate and mobilize advocates, and to advance WSPTA’s legislative program. At the legislative assembly, you will discover the power PTA has to advocate for every child – the whole child – regardless of race, creed, gender, or zip code. In PTA, every member has an equal voice, and your input matters a great deal to the success of our member-driven platform. CEPTSA members, with a paid membership, can attend this year’s virtual legislative assembly.https://www.wastatepta.org/events…/legislative-assembly/
