Crusader Athletes of the Week – 9/23/26

Congratulations to the Crusader Athletes of the Week:
September 23, 2023

 

Ben Eby

Ben is a sophomore in his fourth year of running cross country. Ben won both of his first two races this season, running 18:32 at Abington and 18:05 at Middleboro. Ben’s first place finish contributed to the boy’s team winning the Middleboro meet by one point. Ben consistently works hard and has become a leader on the team.

Josephine Helms

In our first 4 games Josie has racked up the most stats for our team, leading the way with 46 kills, 49 digs, and 13 blocks. Not only is her positive energy a driving force for our team, but her consistent and reliable performance at the net has been essential to our team’s offensive strategy. In her role as captain, Josie has set the tone for this season by leading our team with drive, confidence, and compassion.

Water Update at the Middle High School

As you are aware Carver Middle High School had a “Do Not Drink Order” from the Mass DEP for elevated levels of perchlorate in our water at the end of the summer. The “Do Not Drink Order” was lifted on Friday, August 28th.  As part of the corrective action plan from the Mass DEP we collected additional water samples on Thursday, September 3rd.  The district received the results from that round of testing this afternoon. The perchlorate level in the finished water sample was .21 which is well below the allowable level of 2.0. Perchlorate was not detected in the raw water sample.

If you have an interest in chaperoning a field trip or being a classroom volunteer, it is required to have attended a Volunteer Training.  The Volunteer Training and CORI background check are valid once every three years.  For your convenience and planning, the Volunteer Training is offered at several days and times throughout the school year:

Many thanks to the Student Council E-Board and Advisor Mr. Tresca and the grade 9 students for their work during this event.

Crusader Athletes of the Week: September 16, 2067

 


Mitchell Sawicki

Mitch tallied 8 goals for the Carver Varsity Soccer team. By averaging 2.6 goals in the first 3 games, he helped the team get off to a 3-0 start. Mitch was able to combine with his striking partner, Aaron Reed, in which Aaron was able to provide Mitch with 4 assists during the undefeated start to the season.

Pearl [Alyvia] LaFountain

Pearl has been an integral part of nearly every play in both games last week. Pearl set up goals, executed corners, and finished plays in front of the net. She also switched positions mid-game to fill a gap we needed covered, and did so with grace. She is a strong leader who consistently pushes her teammates to be their best.

Through my externship, I’ve even come up with some projects I’d like to do in that class: certifying both of the vernal pools we have on our school grounds, marking the trails we have behind the school, and creating a map of the trail system.” Read the full article here: https://www.wildlandstrust.org/news-blog/reflections-from-a-teacher
