The Caroline Family had a spooky fun week!

Don’t forget to Fall Back, Caroline family! Daylight Savings ends Sunday, November 2. Turn your clocks BACK one hour.

Have fun and be safe this Halloween, Caroline Family!

We’re all about the pink today! 💕 In observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Caroline Family wore pink to raise awareness and show our support for those affected. Let’s stand together in strength, hope, and solidarity!

📚 Our students are diving into The Business of You — a story-driven business parable that turns personal growth into a CEO-level playbook.

The book follows a young professional learning to take ownership of her choices, clarify her vision, and turn challenges into stepping-stones, and invites readers to do the same through interactive lessons in each chapter.

💡 Co-author Marnie Stockman says, “This book finally gives young people the tools to run their life with intention—just like a CEO would run a business.”

We're excited to see where this leads our students!

Today is National First Responders Day, a day honors the firefighters, police officers, paramedics, EMTs and 911 operators who answer the call when a crisis arises, often putting their own lives on the line. Thank you for all you do for our students, staff, and community!
