Carmel Elementary


Welcome Back!

By: Shavonne Holton

We would like to welcome all of the returning and new Carmel families to our Extended School Enrichment (ESE) program! Our primary goal is to maintain a student centered program. One way we will do this by gauging the student's interests while planning our enrichment clubs and special events. Another way we will do this is by encouraging students to strive for excellence in all that they do and taking advantage of teachable moments. All of this will be done while ensuring the student's safety and leading by example.

One of the foundational principles of the ESE program are the RICHER principles. RICHER is an acronym for Respect, Integrity, Caring, Harmony, Excellence, and Responsibility. Students and staff are expected to demonstrate these principles and the students are rewarded for demonstrating these principles. One way students are rewarded for positive behaviors are through RICHER "Right-Ups" and these are placed on the RICHER "Right-Up" Tree each day. Every Friday, we discuss a topic of the week (awareness) and host a RICHER ceremony for the RICHER "Right-Ups" that were received throughout that week.

Fall Fling

By: Shavonne Holton

Join us for our first Site Celebration of the school year "Fall Fling!"! It will take place on Friday, September 16th from 5:00-7:00pm. Our site celebrations occur once every eight weeks, and these events are usually open to the immediate families of the Carmel ESE students. Site Celebrations are theme-based and are filled with activities for the whole family to enjoy. Some of the celebrations that we have hosted in the past were Disco Fever, Big Ten Bash, and our most popular one Under the Stars of Hollywood prom!

Fall Fling will be a fun-filled event for youth and adults! There will be a pumpkin hunt, sack races, and cookie decorating for the youth. Adults will be able to participate in a Chili Cook-off and the winning recipes will win a prize from the Carmel ESE program! If you would like to contribute in any other way, please feel free to let us know. Hope to see you there!
