Carman-Ainsworth Staff and Families,

 

The month of May has been a busy time in Carman-Ainsworth Schools, with our students, staff and parents actively engaged in activities and events to wrap up a strong 2022-2023 school year.

 

Upcoming Events

The Honors Ceremony will be Tuesday, May 30; Seniors with a 3.0 cumulative GPA will be honored as well as scholarship recipients. Also, we will be recognizing our 2023 Graduates at Commencement on Thursday, June 1. Both activities show our pride for the Class of 2023, and we are excited as we look forward to what our seniors will bring to the future.

 

Look for information on upcoming end of the year events in each of our buildings as they celebrate our students. I would like to thank everyone who took part in organizing, managing, and coordinating the events to ensure a successful end to the year.
