Carey Giving Day is an opportunity for parents and families to support students who are chasing their passions and becoming who they’re called to be.

Carey Giving Day is this Thursday, May 7 ✨
To say thank you, donors who give $25 or more will receive a hand‑drawn, signed, and numbered print of Tatum Court by student artist Audrey Waller.
A heartfelt keepsake. A meaningful cause. A special thank‑you.
Don’t miss your chance to hold a little piece of Carey.
