PARADE Community Bulletin Board

 

 

Welcome to the "new" PARADE Community Bulletin Board. This will be a venue for our families to post messages that they feel would benefit others in our program. Examples of notices would include; Activities and classes offered outside of PARADE, Parent Groups, Meetings, Social Events, etc. The idea is that postings would be beneficial to our PARADE Families but not necessarily sponsored by the program. All postings must be approved by a PARADE staff member.

Text Box: CARNATION CARES HOLIDAY GIVING TREE True True (``````````` (``````````` 0 1737498 1860804 Attention Carnation Families:   Every year we are so blessed as a staff to have the support and kindness of such a caring community as Carnation.  This year, as a staff, we would like to request your assistance with a special community outreach project we are calling “Carnation Cares: Holiday Giving Tree.”  Often times, we overlook the “hidden poverty” right here in our own community, but as educators we know that there are many families in need for a wide variety of reasons.  During this holiday season we would like your help to reach out to these families and children in need.   Rather than purchasing small gifts and tokens of appreciation for the Carnation staff, we ask that you and your family consider “adopting” one of our children and families in need in our own community.   The “giving tree” gift tags will be located outside the school office and families and classes are welcome to take a tag, purchase the gift for the child on the tag, and return the gift (unwrapped) with the tag attached to the school office by Friday, December 14th.  These gifts will then be wrapped by Carnation students and delivered before the winter break to the “adopted families.”  Cash donations made out to the “Carnation Sunshine Committee” are welcome as well.    Come on Carnation, let’s show our community how much we CARE!   Sincerely, Mr. Poage & the Carnation Staff   PS> If you know of other families in need of support for the holidays please contact the school office or school counselor (844-4551).
