Day of Service

Thank you so much for all your support and donations for our Day of Service. It was a spectacular day. The students enjoyed giving back and loved being able to participate in painting rocks, making You Matter bracelets, decorating birthday cards, writing holiday cards to service members, creating dog toys and building food boxes. Huge shout outs to all our parents and community members for all the donations and support you so graciously gave to support this project.

We donated 5,493 lbs. of food!

We also made the news: Fox 4 CMS Thanksgiving Drive

These 17 Dallas-Fort Worth K-8 schools rank among Texas' best for 2025

Lost and Found - Soon to be donated

We have an abundance of water bottles in Lost and Found as well as clothes starting to pile up. Please ask your child to check the items that are located by the stairs in the main hallway. The items will be donated winter break.

Candy

Do you have left over Halloween candy? Please consider donating it to Officer Roberson. She passes the candy out between classes randomly and uses it in classroom settings when she teaches.

Carroll Education Foundation

CEF 2024-2025 Calendar of Events

Join me in answering the call to fund ALL Dragon Teachers during the Carroll Education Foundation Teacher Telethon on December 3rd! Helping fund our teachers is the most tangible way we as a community can support not only our amazing teachers but all Dragon students as well.

If every family in CISD became a friend of CEF, they could gift ALL teachers a $2,500 end-of-year gift, as well as support Teacher Scholarships and financial awards for our Teachers of the Year! Imagine the impact your $1 a day could make!

If you would like to donate, simply go to www.carrolleducationfoundation.org and click the DONATE NOW! button. You can also text the word TELETHON to 44321 and follow the link. Together, let’s show our teachers how much we appreciate them!
