Carroll ISD and the USO

CARROLL ISD and The USO!




Dear CES Parents:



Carroll ISD has teamed with the USO to help support our troops here at DFW airport. Approximately 200 servicemen and women go through our airport daily as they are being deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.



Before boarding their planes, they are given an opportunity to visit a USO room full of supplies that they will need once they reach their destination. Carroll ISD is collecting all of the items provided by the USO to help stock this room; each school is focusing on certain items.



Here at CES we will be collecting travel/snack-size nuts: peanuts, or mixed nuts as well as travel-size baby wipes. It is very important to note the size as available packing space for the items is an issue!



When our USO representative came to our school and heard which items we were assigned, she stressed the importance of the items and stated that servicemen and women are encouraged to take as many of them as they would like. The nuts provide an excellent source of protein when in the field and the baby wipes cannot be used enough in the heat of the desert when bathing is not always a possibility!



Please help us shower the USO and our servicemen and women with kindness and compassion during our supply drive which will run now through Friday, April 29th! Collection boxes can be found in the counseling office as well as in front of the school library.



Thank you in advance for your support!
