📦✨ Behind every successful PTO event is… a really organized closet! ✨📦

One of our summer projects has been giving the PTO storage closet a major refresh! From event supplies and decorations to spirit wear, Coyote cafe books, games, staff appreciation items, and everything in between, we’ve been hard at work creating an organizational system that makes it easier to find what we need, when we need it. 💜🐾

It may not be the most glamorous part of PTO work, but having an organized space helps us save time, reduce waste, and make the most of the resources that support our students, staff, and school community.

We’re excited for all the events, celebrations, and opportunities this organized closet will help make possible in 2026-27. Stay tuned—big things are already in the works!

🎒 School Supply Kits Are Back! 🎒

We know back-to-school shopping looks a little different for every family.

For some, shopping for school supplies is a fun summer tradition — picking out folders, choosing the perfect backpack, and checking off the supply list together. For others, having everything done with a few clicks sounds like a dream. 😊

That’s why the Carver Elementary PTO partners with Sprout School Supplies each year. Their pre-packaged kits include the exact supplies requested for your child’s grade level, and everything is delivered directly to your child’s classroom before school starts.

If a supply kit makes life a little easier, we’re happy to offer the option. If you prefer to shop on your own, that’s great too! There’s absolutely no pressure either way.

📚 Order by July 7
🏫 School Code: CES002
🛒 Order at: sproutsupplies.com/order

No matter how you choose to prepare for the new school year, we hope this helps make back-to-school season a little smoother for our Carver families! 💜🐾

✨💜 Coyote Donations in Action! 💙✨

Today, we’re featuring Mrs. Hayes' 1st grade class! 🎉

Thanks to the support from our fall fundraiser, Mrs. Hayes was able to purchase several exciting classroom additions to support student learning, creativity, and engagement. 📚✨

Her classroom received a class set of student offices to encourage focus during independent work time, new class prizes including sporty and neon water bottle stickers, upgraded art supplies with new markers and paint markers, and cozy new cushions for students to use during independent reading time. 🎨📖✨

One of the biggest student favorites has been the new reading cushions! These special seats are awarded by the classroom’s "Tiny Teacher" to students demonstrating the behaviors of successful readers during independent reading time. Not only are the cushions fun, but they also motivate students to stay focused, build strong reading habits, and continue growing as independent readers. 💙🐾

The new art supplies have already been used for creative classroom projects, while the student offices and prizes help encourage focus, effort, and positive classroom participation. Together, these additions are creating an engaging and supportive learning environment where students can thrive. 🌟

Thank you again to our amazing Carver community for supporting our fundraiser and helping make these meaningful classroom experiences possible! 💜

✨ Meet Your 2026–2027 Carver Elementary PTO Board & Lead Team! ✨

📚 It's Yearbook Day at Carver, so we thought it was the perfect time to introduce your 2026–2027 PTO Board & Lead Team! 💜📸

We are excited to officially introduce the incredible group of parents who will be serving our Carver Elementary PTO community this upcoming school year!

As one school year comes to a close, our work for next year is already beginning. This summer will be filled with planning sessions, brainstorming, and preparing for another year of supporting our students, staff, and families.

We’re grateful for the strong foundation built by past PTO leaders and are excited to build on the momentum and success of this year. As we look ahead, one of our biggest goals is to strengthen connections between parents, our school, and the greater community while continuing to support our incredible teachers and staff; creating opportunities for everyone to feel welcomed, involved, and engaged.

From family events and staff appreciation to fundraising and volunteer opportunities, we have lots of exciting ideas in store! Stay tuned throughout the summer as we begin sharing plans, opportunities to get involved, and a few surprises along the way.

We can't wait to make the 2026–2027 school year one to remember!

This week, we’re featuring Mrs. Literski’s 1st grade class! 🎉

Thanks to the support from our fall fundraiser, Mrs. Literski was able to purchase new books for independent reading, educational games that encourage play and turn taking, and organizational materials like new book bins to help keep classroom resources organized and accessible for students. 📚🎲✨

The first graders have absolutely loved the new books and games added to their classroom! The fresh book selections are helping keep students engaged and excited during independent reading time, while the educational games provide fun opportunities for students to learn, collaborate, practice social skills, and play together with friends. 💙🐾

These thoughtful additions are creating even more opportunities for students to strengthen their reading skills while building a fun, organized, and welcoming classroom environment.
