We are currently looking for donations of items to help ensure that all students can “purchase” 2 items to use as gifts. They will be using our Holiday Paw Bucks to purchase their items. Donations are critical for this event. We need donations of “stuff” that the students can purchase.
Good “stuff” includes:
- Nick nacks
- Toys
- New candles
- Jewelry
- Stuffed animals
- Picture frames
- Something for Mom, Dad, and/or siblings
- NEW headphones (Five Below has a great assortment)
- Anything from your house you think the kids may like
- Gently used items that they may enjoy giving to friends and family
Please do not send in clothing or broken electronics. Any items being donated should be dropped off in the Front Office labeled “Holiday Store”.
If you would like to help by donating a gift card, please drop it off in the office with Mrs. Harrington’s name on it and she will go shopping on Black Friday! Five Below, Walmart, and Target are the go-to places for holiday store shopping 😊
Lost and Found: If your child has misplaced an item, please have them check the Lost and Found, which is located in the cafeteria and in the atrium between the cafeteria and the gym. All unclaimed items are donated to local charities at the end of each month.
History of Calvert Middle School
The new Calvert Middle School opened its doors August 2010 for its first school year. The school was built in a new location geographically north of Calvert High School with a view of the high school athletic fields from some windows. The location by car is 655 Chesapeake Boulevard, which is a newly extended road between the shopping center containing Giant. The new school is larger than the original containing 59 instructional rooms which includes Academic, Related Arts, computer labs, and small group instructional classrooms. Other areas include a media center, gymnasium, and cafeteria/stage.
The original Calvert Middle School was the oldest school building in Calvert County. It was originally built in 1947 and opened as a high school in 1949. It has been a middle school since 1973, incorporating grades six, seven, and eight. It was located in the heart of Calvert County's governmental seat in Prince Frederick, Maryland, at the intersection of State Route 4 and Dares Beach Road. It was demolished around 2010 but the playing fields continue to be used by the public.
