🧭 Let the Adventure Begin! 🌎
Welcome back, families!!
A brand-new school year is here, and we’re so excited to begin another adventure together! As your PTA, we’re looking forward to a year filled with memorable events, meaningful connections, and plenty of opportunities to support our students, teachers, and school community.
Thank you to everyone who has chosen to continue supporting Carillon PTA by becoming members so far during our Membership Drive this month! We are so excited to kick off another amazing school year with our students, families, teachers, and staff! We hope your summer was filled with fun, rest, and plenty of memories. This year, we have filled up your travel itinerary with plenty of exciting events, programs, and volunteer opportunities ready to keep our school community shining bright!
Thank you so much to all our brand new Comets who were able to make it to our Kindergarten Social in July! The afternoon was filled with so many giggles, so much joy, and of course, delicious popsicles!
We want to give a huge shout out to everyone who stopped by our table at Meet the Teacher and signed up to become members at our event! Our school and PTA wouldn't be what it is without your very important contribution! Be sure to scroll down to the Membership portion of this newsletter for more ways to win some great prizes!! 🎉
Whether you volunteer at an event, join the PTA, lend a hand behind the scenes, or simply show up and cheer us on, YOU are an important part of this adventure!
Here’s to new friendships, exciting experiences, big accomplishments, and lots of fun along the way. We can’t wait to see where this year takes us!

Mark Your Calendars!!!
Does your student enjoy the arts? Then join us and have fun unleashing your inner artist with the PTA yearly art contest: Reflections! In Reflections, student artists express their creative interpretation of the theme through their own original artwork, title, and artist statement. The Reflections theme for this year is 'What My Culture Means to Me'.
Student submissions of art and forms will be due to Carillon's front office anytime before Monday, 10/19/26.
Please contact us if you would like information regarding the Reflections program and to be included on the contact list.
You can email us at: carillonreflectionspta@ gmail.com

THANK YOU to all those that have chosen to support our Comets this year, including all those who were able to attend Meet the Teacher.
Thanks to the support of our Business Partners, every single student and staff member at Carillon will receive an Orbit shirt for the school year. They proudly wear their swag during field trips, Fun Run, community events, and much more!

✈️ Now Boarding: Welcome Back Week!
The PTA helped our wonderful staff pack their bags for a fantastic school year journey. They were welcomed back with a delicious lunch catered by our infamous business partner, The Townhouse Restaurant, followed by Crave Cookies. The following morning, staff members were treated to Chick-fil-A and parfaits for breakfast before takeoff.
Our first class passengers were gifted custom canvas totes adorned with luggage tags and loaded with goodies to kickstart their adventure, including our annual Carillon Comet staff T-shirts that were generously donated again by partner Go Ink It!
We look forward to landing somewhere fun soon as we travel through the 2026/27 school year on this world-wide journey together!
We hope to see you at the upcoming Dividend Breakfast on August 26 at 8:45 am.
