SUPPORT OUR GRADUATES! 

Graduation is a time for celebration, providing long lasting memories for everyone involved.  Unfortunately, some memories are not positive if they include drugs and alcohol.  That is why CSHS PTSO is sponsoring a Project Graduation Celebration on June 5, immediately following the commencement ceremony.  This all-night party at Main Event in Grapevine has been a successful tradition for our students for many years.  Project Graduation provides seniors a safe, controlled environment with games, music, poker tournaments,  character sketching, food and prizes for everyone. 

 
To ensure continued success for this vital event, we need your help.  It costs the PTSO approximately $160/student for Project Graduation.  We still need to raise an additional $25,000.  The event is funded partially through the PTSO Craft Fair and you can help us raise funds by attending the Craft Fair today (Saturday, Nov 3rd) and/or tomorrow (Sunday, Nov 4th).   

 

Another way to help, is by making a financial contribution, and/or by asking your company for a corporate sponsorship, matching dollars or to donate a prize.  Please help us in "Protecting the Tradition" of giving our seniors a safe and memorable night!  It won't be long before your student is a graduating Carroll Senior and we want to make sure that Project Graduation is around for years to come! 

 

Send your donation today to CSHS/CHS PTSO at Project Graduation, 1501 West Southlake Blvd. Southlake, TX 76092

Missing Directory?

If your child did not receive their PTSO directory, they can still pick it up at their school. CHS students can pick up at the Guidance office with Mrs. Terry, while CSHS students can pick up at their directory at the CSHS library. Please note that if you have a child at both schools, your directory will be at the High School. Questions, email Daphne Shipowitz at jshipowitz1@verizon.net.  If you would still like to join PTSO and receive a directory, have your child return the membership form with a $20 check.

Christmas is for Children
Christmas is for Children logo

Christmas is For Children (CIFC) is a non-profit organization [501©(3)] and is dedicated to providing needy children the love, care and joy that comprise the spirit of the holiday season.  Participating individuals contribute gifts,  monetary donations, food or volunteer their time.  This year, our 10th year of service in Southlake, we hope to fill the wish lists of over 1,300 Angels from across the metroplex.

 

The Angels have been distributed primarily through our elementary-middle schools.  If you no longer have children from K-8 or would like to adopt an Angel or a family, if you have Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, your own business and need a write-off, a group of friends, or just yourself, we have several 14 - 16 year olds that may get lost in the shuffle of all the little kids.  Their family situations all differ from medical challenges to abuse to grandmas-that-have-all-their-grandchildren-living-with-them.

 

If you would like to help make the holidays brighter for some underprivileged kids, please contact Bonnie Lashus at balashus@verizon.net or at 817-637-6330

 

 Thanks and have a great day!

The Varsity Boys Golf Team traveled to San Antonio last weekend and played in the San Antonio Northside Kick-off Classic at Hyatt Hill Country Golf Course. The team came in as the defending champions and had a bulls-eye on there back. The guys played hard on Friday firing a 310 and ended the day with a 5 shot lead over San Antonio Clark. On Saturday the wind blew making this already hard golf course a lot tougher and the guys played there way to another win shooting 321. Congratulate these guys on a job well done. Here are their scores.
