❤️💙🧡Panola County Special Field Day 🧡💙❤️ Carthage ISD is proud to host the Panola County Special Field Day in partnership with Panola County SSA. Today is all about celebrating our incredible students, their abilities, their joy, and the spirit they bring to Bulldog Stadium. This event is a true team effort across districts, coming together to support and uplift our special education students in a day built just for them. A special thank you to our student volunteers who stepped up as “Big Buddies” today. You made a difference in a big way and helped create an unforgettable experience for our athletes. We also want to thank our partner districts, Gary ISD and Beckville ISD, for being part of this special day. We are incredibly grateful for the sponsors and community partners who made today possible: • Carthage ISD Education Foundation • Pippen Motors • Carthage Furniture • Panola County Processing LLC • First State Bank • Charles C. Matthews Foundation • Vera Bank • HEB • Sonic • ABC Auto • Bulldawg Stop • Twisted Hickory BBQ • Whataburger • Mainstreet Cafe Special thanks as well to Trevor Riley and our FFA students for cooking the burgers, and to James Foster, Tina Marion, and their students for providing the event t-shirts. Huge thank you to Cody Ross for providing the bounce house and slide that brought so much fun and energy to the day! We also want to recognize the Panola College Occupational Therapy students for organizing and leading so many great games and activities. Your time, creativity, and care made a big impact on our students. This is what community looks like. It’s a great day to be a Bulldog, Bearcat, and Bobcat! ❤️💙🧡 #PanolaCountyProud #WeAreCarthage

🎉🐾 APRIL BOARD MEETING RECOGNITIONS 🐾🎉 One of the best parts of our monthly board meetings is getting to pause and recognize the people who make life #BetterAsABulldog in Carthage ISD. Thank you to all of our students and staff. Both matter. Both lead. Both make a difference every single day. ❤️🤍 Here are just a few of the individuals we had the opportunity to recognize at tonight’s board meeting: 🌟 Elementary Student of the Month Luke Klysen, Libby Elementary 🌟 Secondary Student of the Month Avery Prudhomme, Carthage Junior High 🍎 Elementary Teacher of the Month Rachel Penner, Libby Elementary 🍎 Secondary Teacher of the Month Christine Jablon, Carthage Junior High 🔧 Support Staff Member of the Month Alan Smith, Maintenance Our students show us what is possible with hard work, character, and a willingness to grow. Our teachers and staff create the space for that growth to happen. They invest in kids, build relationships, and help shape the future of our community. That is the power of public education. It takes all of us, and moments like this are an important reminder of just how special that is. #BetterAsABulldog because of the great people in our district ❤️🐾
