Sacramento Food Bank Is Partnering With Carriage
Starting this month Sacramento will be donating non perishable food boxes for families at Carriage in need of support. This will be available on or after the 3rd Friday of each month as supplies last. You may come to the office for pickup.
Stay Informed!
Our teachers regularly send home newsletters either electronically or in print. Not only do they inform you about classroom events and activities, they are a great source of information to speak with your child about which helps avoid the "What did you do today at school?" "Nothing." conversation!
Our office staff will send out our newsletter, "The Carriage Connection," at least once a month.
Of course, if you need any assistance or have any questions, please give us a call or stop in the office. We are here to help!
