Pajama Flashlight Party!

Hello Caraway Families,

Next Tuesday night we will be holding our first Pajama Flashlight Literacy Night in the Caraway Library from 6:00-7:30 pm!

Here's how it works: you and your family can come and go any time between 6:00 and 7:30 pm next Tuesday, November 19th in the Caraway Library.

We will have all the lights off in the library and the tables moved aside so everyone can relax and read by flashlight!  While we may have a few larger groups reading together, our hope is that we will have little family/friend groups spread out reading all over the library at the same time.

You may dress in pajamas or bring stuffed animals/pillows if you'd like but the only thing you really need is a flashlight and a love for reading!

You may bring favorite books from home or we will have library books pulled and placed on the tables that you may choose to read.

The goal of this literacy night is to build community around literacy and to remind ourselves and our students that READING IS FUN!

See you there!

International Festival!

Movember!

It’s Movember and I'll be growing a moustache to raise funds and awareness for men's health. It's going to be a hairy journey and I want you to be part of it.

Fight for your right to change the face of men’s health, enlist for Movember and JOIN MY TEAMnow.

A moustache is the mark of a man, and today it is a symbol to spark conversations about important health issues. So guys, pledge to grow a Mo today, or ladies, join the team to support my Mo.

Find out more about why you should join me by taking a look at THE CAUSES WE ARE FIGHTING FOR.

Thanks for supporting Gen Mo and helping us change the face of men's health.

United We Mo!

Watch DOGS

The WatchDOGS program is an important part of our school and we're looking for more dads (or step-dads, uncles, grand-dads or older brothers) to be part of this awesome program.   The WatchDOGS dads at Caraway help keep the school safe and provide a positive and active role-model for all students at our school.  Its a great way to get a glimpse of their students' everyday world during school hours and is an EXTREMELY rewarding experience.

The typical WatchDOGS volunteer day will be spent in the kids classrooms, help around the office and library, help monitor lunch and recess and just be a positive male presence in the school.  If you choose to come at the beginning of the day - you and your child will be on the morning KOWL news as well (the kids love being on the news with their dads).

We don't require a huge commitment - come when you can!  An hour or two, a half-day, a full day - whatever works with your schedule.

I bet if you ask your child "Do you want me to be a WatchDOG dad at school?" - the answer will be "Yes….PLEEEEEEEEESE DAD!!!!!"

Please email our Top Dog - bruce.kornfeld@gmail.com or call him at 512-934-1686 to get set up to be part of the WatchDOGS program.
