What a week for the Caroline family! Thanksgiving for lunch in the cafeterias, parent visitation days, spirit weeks, charity work to benefit the community, and amazing work in the classroom - we've been doing it all!
Today we celebrate Substitute Educators Day! We appreciate the ‘subs’ in our Caroline family keeping the learning going when educators can’t be there. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for all you do!
We're thankful to work for the Caroline family where every cafeteria served a traditional Thanksgiving menu today! District staff were invited to stop by any of the schools to buy an amazing meal . We popped into Denton Elementary and enjoyed every bite before learning how to compost appropriately. Our lunch friends explained how to separate all items and why. In addition to being very full, we learned a lot! Thank you for a lovely time, Denton Dolphins!
