Toys for Tots "Stuff the Bus"

Today our 3rd grader's "stuffed" the bus with all of the collected toys for Toys for Tots.
It was like an assembly line of elves who passed each and every toy down the line towards the bus..

The toys making their final approach onto the bus...

A final shot of our entire 3rd Grade in front of the "stuffed" bus.

Thanks to all who contributed to the Toys for Tots campaign!!!

Old Point National Bank THANKS!

For the second year in a row, Old Point National Bank in Eagle Harbor Shopping Center collected donations from the community to compile Thanksgiving Gift Bags for CAES.  

Thanks to Joyce Dunning and her staff at Old Point National Bank, they were able to collect enough food and cash donations for 20 food bags for CAES families.  

Carrollton Elementary is so lucky to have businesses in the community who value our CAES students and want to provide for a special holiday.  

THANKS!!!!

Thanksgiving Thanks to Generous CAES Families!!!

A big "THANKS" to several CAES families who worked to gather donations and put together Thanksgiving Meal Bags for 2 CAES Families.  In addition, they collected enough money for several more families to get gift cards to local grocery stores.

This is yet another reason why Carrollton Elementary is the BEST school.  We have great kids and families who are thinking about others during the holiday season.
