CUES Beta Club supports Tanner Health patients

Carrollton Upper Elementary's Beta Club chose an inspiring project as a way to give back to the community. Creating handmade care packages, students designed paper bags and filled them with comfort items, including socks, tea, and a heartfelt card. This week at the club's monthly meeting, these packages were given to Tanner Health Foundation Executive Director Nichole Fannin and Tanner Health Foundation Communications and Annual Gifts Specialist Cali Morgan to deliver to patients receiving cancer treatments.

CHS hosts Italian exchange students

Continuing an international exchange program that began this summer with Carrollton High School students traveling to Spoleto, CHS welcomed five Italian students to Carrollton for ten days. This educational and cultural experience, established in partnership with the University of West Georgia, allowed the students to learn more about America firsthand by staying with host families, attending classes at CHS, and exploring the Carrollton area. The CHS International Baccalaureate teachers, students, and their families planned tours, took them to community events, and introduced the students to local cuisine by eating at local restaurants and shopping in the grocery stores, ensuring the Italian students enjoyed their visit. They capped off the trip by experiencing the one-of-a-kind Carrollton Homecoming parade.

Fall fun at Ole McDermitt's Farm

In the swing of all the fall festivities, kindergarten classes took a trip to Ole McDermitt's Farm. These field trips allow students to learn more about farm animals and crops while enjoying fun activities, including a hayride and a corn maze. Classes will continue to visit throughout the fall.

Annual Veterans Day Program: Nov. 11

Every year, Carrollton City Schools dedicates time to honor the service of our veterans. At this year's Veterans Day ceremonies on Wednesday, Nov. 11, the CHS Air Force JROTC is honored to recognize all veterans, including those whose names were submitted by our school community. Veterans are invited to join us for one of our recognition ceremonies at the CHS main gym. CHS AFJROTC asks that all veterans please complete a registration form upon arrival at the event to ensure military information is correct for the recognition portion of the ceremony. We look forward to celebrating and honoring their service!
