Chorus Program on Tuesday, May 8

Tuesday, May 8 will be our 1^st grade chorus program. Students need to be in the music room at 6:30 and dressed in a red shirt with black pants or jeans.  

Also, this will be the end of an era at Carrollton Elementary School.  Our program will be Mrs. Willard’s final performance because she will be retiring after 40 years as our music teacher.  If you or anyone you know had Mrs. Willard as a music teacher throughout her long career, we invite you to join us and bring a yellow flower to celebrate this amazing teacher.  Carrollton Elementary will not be the same without her.

We will pick our strawberries, and have lunch at Nike Park. If you are planning to join us, the prices for parents that wish to pick strawberries are as follows: 2 quarts for $5 or 4 quarts for $9.
