Let me begin by wishing you all a Happy New Year filled with many successes and continued progress. It’s a pleasure to see all of the children, teachers, and staff back at school after a long, well-deserved break.

During winter break, I hope you had the chance to catch up with friends and family and enjoy some rest and relaxation. I certainly spent some time reflecting on 2020 and thinking about the work and opportunities that lie ahead in 2021. As we approach the holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Dr. King’s work, and his legacy, I am reminded of one of his quotes, “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” One of the things I appreciate most about Team Caraway is that we are not silent about the things that matter. We will continue to speak out to ensure that our Caraway Cougars continue to receive a dynamic and unparalleled education.

Here at Caraway Elementary School, we place great value on seeing our students showing continued success and academic progress as they move through their academic journey. I am excited to begin our work for the second half of the school year. As we ring in the New Year, we see this as an opportunity to check in with students and families to ensure that our students are on-track, prepared, and ready for the second half of the year.

Caraway Elementary School continues to strive to become a school focused on educational equity and find unique and innovative ways to partner, support and create opportunities that make our school a place where all children enjoy learning, develop strong relationships, and continue to grow each day socially, emotionally, and academically. Here at Caraway, we remain I.C.E. Strong.

With Regards,

Dr. Andrenetta Marshall

Principal
