Week of October 21

Celebrate Excellence - Volleyball & Football

The Carthage Ladydogs are chasing history in setting the
highest number of wins in school history.  The current
record for wins in a season is 35.

Our Bulldogs and Ladydogs are playing strong this fall.  The Ladydog Volleyball team is now 33-4 while the Bulldogs are 6-0 after the 1st week of district play. 

The reason for their success is simple.   Excellence cannot happen without high expectations for preparation and execution.  Our teams play hard from whistle to whistle.  They don't quit, and they don't make excuses or place blame when they fail.  They view failure as a learning opportunity, and most importantly they have fun while they do it.  If you haven't seen them play, I encourage you to come out and watch them.  They are a sight to see.

#BeTheLIGHT - Attendance Matters a Lot!
Attendance is critical for learning.  In the graphic below, it shares how much learning your child will miss if he or she misses 1 or more days per week over those course of their education.  Furthermore, it also shows how much learning is missed if your child misses anywhere from 10 minutes to 1 hour per day.  In the 1st 6 weeks, we had 96.8% attendance.  In the 2nd 6 weeks, we want to set a record for attendance of 96.4%.  Attendance has an impact on learning, and we want it to be the best impact possible.
