Let’s help our community grow even stronger on Giving Tuesday!
Give to Carnation Elementary PTSA, volunteer your talents, or show kindness. Every act of generosity counts, and each means more when we give together.
Our goal is to positively impact the lives of all students by partnering with staff, families, and community to foster a culture that values learning, builds community and advocates for all students. These challenging times have changed how we do that. We are adapting programs, using new resources, and creating new opportunities to support our community.
PTSA funds at work: $4000+ in classroom supplies, program enrichment in areas of science, art and library, new sound system in the gym, staff grants, 5th grade recognition/celebration, staff appreciation and much, much more…
We hope that in this season of gratitude and generosity you can partner with us and give what you can to help extend what is possible for our school and students.
In the Spirit of Giving Tuesday, here are opportunities thru CEPTSA to impact your community:

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!
Calling all creators and builders!
Enter PTSA’s monthly connect challenges!
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. There are no strict rules other than what ever built or created must fi with the monthly theme. 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!
This will be a virtual, district wide event hosted by the Riverview PTSA Council Advocacy. It is scheduled for Monday, October 11th from 7:00-8:15, via Zoom.
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/
