Support Curriculum Enrichment at Carlisle Public School

Welcome to the 2026-27 school year! Fall at Carlisle Public School is a time to reconnect, celebrate traditions, and support the programs that make our school community special.

Each year, the PTO funds the Curriculum Enrichment (CE) programs and Teacher Grants to bring learning to life. These programs give students hands-on experiences and give teachers access to innovative resources, new ideas, and learning opportunities that go beyond the school budget.

In the past, PTO funding has supported programs such as Read Across America, all-school assemblies, author visits, science programs, educational subscriptions, classroom materials, and more. Teacher Grants have provided books, science equipment, reading resources, and other tools that help teachers create engaging and meaningful learning experiences.

These programs are not funded by the school and rely entirely on donations from our families. Your support gives teachers the resources they need to inspire and educate our students. It also allows the PTO to say "yes" when teachers bring forward new ideas that can make a real difference in the classroom.
