Mrs. Bardetti’s Technical Writing class got some help from Mr. Arruda while learning how to record official Engineering Notebooks. Students built paper helicopters to see which prototype would have the longest air time from a 5-foot
drop.
We love to see all the cross-curricular fun!

The Multicultural Club hosted a Leprechaun Bait making activity during Academic Workshop/Study on Wednesday, March 16th. The date of the event coincided with folklore that suggests, if you catch a leprechaun, he'll have to give you his gold! This event was the most popular event the Multicultural Club has ever had! The students said they came to this event for a myriad of reasons. Many created the bait for younger siblings back home. Others enjoyed eating their bait while chatting with friends. All in all, it was a great day!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Students in Ms. Whalen's 8th grade science class started their chemistry unit this week! It was fun to do some hands-on lab activities to explore the different states of matter.

On March 21st and 22nd students in Mr. Lamoureux's APUSH class participated in a simulation based on a 1944 Supreme Court case on Japanese-American Internment (Korematsu v. the United States). The student trial resulted in a reversal of history with internment deemed unconstitutional.
Dillon Myer being cross examined by Lead Counsel Riley Reed Davis. Myer defends the Japanese saying that they changed their loyalty answers from no to yes after hearing more information and that they were not given same opportunities as Italians and Germans.
Mayor Bowron, who was the mayor of LA, stating his claim that the internment camps were the only way to maintain order within the area as a way to protect it.
General DeWitt takes the stand before defending his decision moving the Japanese out of the West Coast and move them Inland for National Security
Fred Korematsu on the stand giving the case that what he did, not showing up to the assembly for the Internment camps was right, and Internment Camps violated the constitution.
Edwin Borchard on the stand defending Korematsu citing that Executive order 9066 violated Japanese Americans living along the West Coast rights to the 5th and 14th Amendment.
Izzy Mercer, Lead Counsel for Korematsu, making her opening statement that the camps should be proved unconstitutional because they were denied the 5th amendment, it violated due process, and that they were moved forcefully.
Chief Justice Tibbetts and associate Justice DeSisto give their final verdict on the trial of Korematsu v.s. the United States. They found Japanese Internment camps as Unconstitutional and these camps violated American citizens right to the 5th and 14th Amendment.

COMMUNITY SERVICE Reminders and opportunities
Sophomores & families,
I'm happy to let you know that Sophomores are NOW ELIGIBLE to earn hours towards their 25 hr graduation requirement. (Including with activities like Care Packages for Troops)
The History Department-with our core mission of promoting active and responsible citizenship- facilitates this project to help students deepen their appreciation for service while making a positive difference in their community.
See the project Guidelines for details, and see the Modifications--in effect through the pandemic-for expanded options for earning and documenting hours.
To document hours, students use this form which can be found in the history hallway or in the guidelines. Students obtain signatures from a “Site Supervisor:” -to verify the service was performed-and their History “Teacher” (or designated staff if not taking history) to confirm the activity is eligible and to have progress tracked.
I’ll occasionally email new opportunities that will also post in Carver Chronicles. Sophomore history teachers will review the project with 1st semester students by the end of term 2, and with 2nd semester students early in term 3.
Please let me, your student's History teacher, or designated staff know if you have any questions.
Best,
Brian Lamoureux
History Department Chair

ANimal shelter drive
Assistance for lost/stray animals in Carver
DId you know?
Carver lost its actual animal shelter building many years ago.
We were fortunate that Lakeville Animal Shelter stepped in and offered to let us be part of their collaborative shelter.
If an animal is found in Carver, we have a holding area behind the old police station. The animal does not stay there very long. (Less than 24 hours) in hopes it will be reunited with owners.
If not it is brought to the Lakeville facility where it will be put on hold for 7 days. before it can be legally put up for adoption.
It is very admirable of the Carver students to be supportive of any shelter.
I know that many folks in town do not realize this is where our strays and lost dogs/animals go.
The shelter is located Montgomery St Lakeville Ma
(just off route 18 & 105.)
508-947-3891
and it run an operated by Dave Frates, Jennifer Nash and a few others
Thank you to all the Carver students and families for all their kind efforts
Karen Lapham
