Carthage R-9 School Foundation

💝🐯We had the best night celebrating with everyone! Trivia Night was a fun evening with friends and supporters of the Foundation and we could not be happier with the turnout.
Thank you to everyone that participated, donated and helped. Congrats to Zeiter Tax for being the overall winner, to the Bronze Medal Babes for winning best theme and to our raffle winners: Andy Thomas painting: Chance Morgan; Valentine’s blanket and Oasis Spa gift card: Angela Holman; Yeti Cooler package: Scott Ragsdale.

Talk about a hidden gem right in our own back yard! How incredible that our very own marketing department at the Carthage Technical Center is so talented and capable of so many things. From custom embroidery, to screen printing, etching and much more, Kaylee and her group are getting it done with competitive pricing and turnaround times.

We're excited that they have sponsored some of our prize items for our winners, so you can look forward to cute and stylish apparel! Thank you for once again partnering with us to make a fun evening even more special. This commitment to the Foundation, school and community betterment is what makes Carthage the shining star that it is in Southwest Missouri!

We value our staff support within the Carthage R-9 School District and value their partnership! This Spotlight focuses on Kristen Harrison, valued administrative support at Carthage High School. Kristen and her team can always be counted on to work with the Carthage R-9 School Foundation by volunteering their time and energy with contests, scholarships and general support for events like our Trivia Night contest.
The Foundation thanks the many staff members like Kristen who put our kids and community first with their support of the Foundation and our schools.
