We are always so happy to see our friends from Omicron Chapter of Alpha Delta Kappa every year because they bring us (and all Caroline Schools buildings!) the most delicious apples 🍎 🍏 🍁! Thank you for thinking of us 💚
National School Lunch Week promotes the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child's life and the impact it has inside and outside of the classroom. It's also a great time to say thank you to our amazing Food Services and cafeteria teams for achieving the goal of Well-Fed Kids and Happy Kitchens. #NSLW26

The Caroline family showed up in full force tonight at the Teacher of the Year Gala to celebrate and cheer on our 2026-27 Teacher of the Year, Brittany Busick! Thank you to the Maryland State Department of Education for hosting such a wonderful evening in recognition of Maryland’s outstanding educators.
We were honored to welcome Maryland Secretary of Health Meena Seshamani, MD, Ph.D., to Denton Elementary School last week, along with Choptank Community Health CEO Sara Rich and Director of Community-Based Programs Chrissy Bartz. It was a wonderful opportunity to share how our school-based health centers help care for and support students each day.
Coaches on the field. Coaches in the classroom. Leadership everywhere!
Today on National Coaches Day and National Instructional Coaches Day, we recognize the many ways our coaches make a difference.

Our athletic coaches help students grow as teammates and individuals, fostering confidence, resilience, and sportsmanship both in competition and beyond.
Thank you to all of our coaches for your impact on the Caroline family!

Just when we think our community can't get any more supportive, in walks Bridge Community Church from Federalsburg. This morning they delivered a basket of bags - one for each person in our building - containing a candy bar and a note that ensures there's not a dry eye in the office. We hope they know just how much this kind and thoughtful gesture meant to all of us 💚
