President’s Message

Hello Carson Community!

On behalf of the PTA Board, I'm excited to welcome you back for the 2023-2024 school year.  Carson is a wonderful community made up of amazing students, dedicated educators, caring staff and engaged families.  Our PTA is a transparent, welcoming and inclusive organization.  I encourage all Carson parents and guardians to join, we love welcoming new members and families!

The PTA proudly creates events that leave our students with positive memories of elementary school, raises funds to support staffing and technology, and supports student’s social and emotional well being with programs such as Character Ed. 

Carson PTA volunteers help facilitate many events for our students to remember for a lifetime.  At the Carson Disco, they hand out pizza and DJ their favorite tracks.  At Field Day, they flip burgers and set up obstacle courses.  At the Fun Run, they set up barricades and cheer kids on as they safely race through the streets of Hilltop. As our students continue onto Middle School and beyond, we love knowing they will carry these fond memories of elementary school with them!

 In addition to our volunteers, our PTA raises funds to allow for critical additions to the school.  This year, through your donations, we funded staffing including teacher salaries and a Social Worker to support student’s mental health. We provided classroom Sound Fields, that allow students to better hear and engage with their teachers. We purchased and facilitated recess carts stocked with balls, jump ropes, and frisbees to keep our kids moving and outside.  And of course - none of this funding would be possible without our dedicated team of volunteers that plan and execute our Auction every year.

Last, but not least, Carson PTA volunteers help facilitate students' social and emotional well-being through the Character Ed program.  Our core values of Respect, Responsibility, Kindness, Acceptance, Perseverance, Integrity, and Courage are promoted in the classroom with the support of PTA volunteers. Our volunteers’ time and attention is rewarded with groups of students as young as Kindergarten thoughtfully explaining the meaning of Kindness and how they can embrace that trait in their everyday lives. 

Thank you to our current PTA members and volunteers, you are the ones that make all this possible for our kids and community!  If you have any questions or would like to become involved with the PTA, please reach out to me and I’d be glad to provide more information!

Sincerely,

Andee Conner Foutch, PTA Co-President
