from the principal
Q4 Week 4: Thank you and a shout out to the teachers and staff that spent part of their Sunday promoting Carden of Tucson at the School & Camp EXPO. It was a great event with lots of folks coming by to find out more about our little school. Please keep the message going by telling friends and family that we still have openings for the 2022-23 school year.
Couple things to think about as we head into the wonderful three day weekend. Please be safe if you are traveling. Take a minute to hug a special family member (better yet, all family members). Put down the devices (unless you are taking a picture) and ask someone a question. Play games as a family. It is okay to eat the ears first off a chocolate bunny. Please have a wonderful weekend and will see you Monday at 8am
