Week 4 of School Closure

#BeTheLIGHT - #LoveMySchoolDay

It has been another great week for CISD staff during this difficult time of closure.  Thank you for all that you are doing to help our kids succeed.  We have seen immense change in how we support kids, and you have done amazing things to better serve the students.  Thank you.

This Saturday is April 11, and several years ago, I created a day called #LoveMySchoolDay where I encouraged everyone to spread the word on social media why they love their school. 

With all that has happened in the last 4 weeks, I hope that you will join me in sharing why you love Carthage ISD and why you miss it so much right now.  I know that I miss our kids.  I miss working with you, and I miss all of the fun events that make Carthage ISD what it is.  Take time, and let's celebrate why we love Carthage ISD.
