Caroline County Public Schools -

The most amazing bonds begin in our Caroline Family Pre‑K classrooms!

Cullen and Marcie first met at RES in PreK3. Cullen was born with Down syndrome, and Marcie was born with a cleft lip and palate, and from day one, they built a friendship all their own, finding their own ways to connect and communicate.

Six years later, they visited every Caroline elementary school library to donate autographed copies of the book written by Cullen’s mom that shares their unique story.

From a PreK classroom meeting to a countywide message of learning what true friendship is — what a gift to our schools. 💚📚✨

We were honored to have a hand in this amazing eventtoday! As the Commissioner's post so eloquently stated, "As part of the 250th celebration, a time capsule containing contributions from every school in Caroline County was prepared to be opened in 2076. Its contents will give a future generation a firsthand look at our classrooms and community through the eyes of the young people growing up in Caroline. The project also pays homage to the Class of 1976, whose capsule was opened earlier this year. Reusing the original box and location honors their place in our past while giving today’s students a place beside them."

We want to thank the Caroline County Commissioners, the Caroline County 250th Committee, Caroline County Economic Development, students and staff from North Caroline and Colonel Richardson, and especially our own Supervisor of Instruction Mr. Marketto for his guidance throughout the project.

Special thanks to the schools for each contributing an item to the time capsule! What did they put in the box? We'll just have to wait and see ...
