Our students were awarded CAES participant medals and acknowledged on the CAES AM News

A special thanks to Brandy Robbins, Carrie Smith, Laura Lilly, Nancy Muhlbauer, Ellen Baker, and Cassandra Hobbs for helping out with the team!!!!

Mrs. Ball also wanted to thank all of the parents and family members who joined the team and cheered them on at the competition.  Although we're super proud of the awards our students brought home, we're even more proud of the way our CAES and HES students conducted themselves.  Judges at the competition noted that our students were especially well behaved and responsible.

Budget Information Session hosted by CAES

The CAES PTA will be hosting a Budget Information Session for all parents on Tuesday, April 8th at 6:30 in the CAES Cafeteria.  

We'll have Laura Abel, Assistant Superintendent, present a short FYI about how the budget will address the instruction needs in the school division.  Specifically for Carrollton, we're hoping to get more teachers to address our large classroom sizes and technology to replace our aging computers.

Mr. Kent Hildebrand, IWCS School Board Representative for Carrollton, will also be present and available for insight into the budget process.

We have two donated dinners for 2 to two favorite local restaurants.  In addition, we'll have free child care in the library so parents can enjoy relax and concentrate on the budget presentation while their kids watch a movie.

Make it a priority to get to CAES on April 8th at 6:30 to advocate for OUR students!
