The Patriot Cheerleaders and Balloon Club spent Saturday morning volunteering at the 2016 Miami Valley Down Syndrome Association Buddy Walk at 5/3 Field.  The event raised $137,792 to fund Down Syndrome research, education, advocacy, and services at the national and local levels.
LETTER 
FROM  PRINCIPAL
SABLESKI
Good Afternoon,

Each week I laud our students for their extraordinary work in the classroom, on the fields and courts of play, and in service to the community.  We have great kids at Carroll, and I'm smart enough to know that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

Almost daily, I'm reminded of the tremendous support you give to your kids and the entire community.  Parents who help their kids with homework, get them to school on time, wash uniforms, and work tirelessly (sometimes at multiple jobs) to ensure that your children receive the very best education possible.  However, you don't stop there.  The band parents work the pit crew, the cross country parents put on a huge invitational, the drama parents feed the cast and crew, and volunteers work in the library, spirit shop and concession stand.  The list could go on for pages because so many of you go over and above what is necessary to make our house feel like a home.  I am so grateful for all that you do!

It's a great day to be a Patriot!
