Read Across America
Students at Carver celebrated Read Across America from February 25 to March 1. This week's events brought lots of excitement to our reading classes and was celebrated in conjunction with Dr. Seuss's birthday on March 2. Thank you to our parent volunteers that served as guest readers for the occasion. Our students enjoyed hearing many of Dr. Seuss's classic tales and even dressed as favorite characters from his beloved stories.
Career Day
February 1st brought another terrific Career Day to our school! Carver appreciates all the support from our parents and community businesses. A special "thank you" to Jo McCann and Dan Mertig for organizing the event. Students had a fabulous time learning about the variety of jobs that are available for them to pursue as careers.
Live To Give
Our current mindset focus is "Live to Give." Carver students are learning how to give of their time to speak words of encouragement to others. Compliments and acts of service are small ways we can make a difference in the lives of others.
Carver Loves our Custodial Staff!
Our students wrote thank you notes to our custodial staff to show appreciation for keeping our school so neat and clean.
