Good Evening, Cougar Families!
This is Principal Cheek with your weekly message.

We want to extend a huge thank you to all of you who showed up and shared your skills for our Carrington Math Night this past Thursday! We also want to thank Ms. Turquoise Parker who provided a donation of over 500 bags of food to our Carrington community! Parent and community engagement is such a critical component in making Carrington succeed. We thank you for this amazing partnership!
