~Mae Carden

dear friends of Carden,

every year is an exciting year at Carden, and the 2015-2016 school year was no exception. after many months of diligent work we had our accreditation review,and we are proud to announce that we received a 7-year accreditation, the highestlevel. Going through the accreditation process allowed the board and staff to reflecton our strengths and opportunities, and it led us into an updated Carden strategicplan. it takes the whole Carden community working together with initiative and determination to continue moving forward in our goals.

We had such a joyful first year of PreK. it was so wonderful having these youngeststudents on campus, but more importantly, watching them grow and flourish asstudents leaves us with such satisfaction that we know the growth of our schoolwas the right move.

We also grew in physical size. . . . We are grateful for everyone who supported theJamboree in april; your idealism and generosity built our new pavilion. add to thatthe diligence of the Carden staff and our construction team led by artistic Builders,and we completed the Pavilion construction project on time and on budget. this isour first building project since taking ownership of the campus five years ago, andwe look forward with enthusiasm to what will be next.

as we look back on the past year, we realize that it is the excellence of our staff andstudents that really makes our school special. and it is the kindness and helpfulnessof our community that helps us continue to move forward and successfully grow.We thank you, our friends, our donors, our community for your confidence in ourschool and your support in achieving our goals. thank you for all you have doneand all that you continue to do so that we, Carden, can continue to live our missionevery day.

With gratitude,
