As parents, students and teachers continue to evaluate how to return to school in the fall, Audra Snead wants Carroll ISD to know how grateful families are for their hard work and communication throughout the last few months. That’s why she and about 100 people drove through the CISD administration center to show their support for the district.
As a mother of two Dragons currently going through CISD, Audra has been concerned about what school will look like for her children in the fall, just like any other parent in the district. Yet throughout the tumultuous past few months, Audra has been impressed with Carroll's communication and commitment despite all of the challenges they’ve faced over the summer.
“The district has been very transparent to share information with us when they have it, and they have provided many ways for us to ask questions and to share feedback,” Audra says. “The district has been put in a situation that is impossible to make everyone happy, but I do know that at the end of the day, we all want what is best for our children.”
To thank school administrators and board members for their hard work and dedication to the community, Audra reached out to her peers through social media and organized a drive-thru event where they drove through the administration center, honked their horns, showed signs of support and shared treats they brought for them.
“Now more than ever, I felt the need to encourage, unify and support our leaders who are working so hard for our kids,” she says. “I just wanted to remind the district that they had parents cheering them on during these difficult times.”
