This past Sunday, Jan. 29, Student Council and Best Buddies partnered to attend an annual Special Olympics Bocce Tournament at Rockland High School. Mr. Tresca, STUCO advisor, reports that students from both clubs had a great time playing Bocce, bonding with each other and forming new relationship with students from other schools.

On November 19th seven Carver Middle High School students traveled to Stoughton, Massachusetts in order to participate in a Habitat for Humanity building project as part of their community service graduation requirement. Habitat for Humanity provides affordable housing for low income families worldwide and relies on the services of volunteers to complete their mission which has provided thousands of homes to deserving families for over 30 years. Participants included; Sean Callahan, Jackson Cottam, Michaela Kuchinsky, Jonathan Letsche, Taryn Minahan, Brooke Meredith, and Kaylie Wentworth. Students were accompanied by Ms. Vanessa Haen and Mr. Thomas McLean from the math and history departments.
The 2016 Massachusetts Mock Trial Competition is under way, and Carver students, let by Ms. Perkins are preparing to present either side of the case. This year challenges the team with a criminal murder case involving a war veteran who may or may not have suffered from PTSD which did or didn’t activate a reflexive response to fireworks going off around him; the end result was that his high school nemesis was shot multiple times and killed. The trial dates and final team have not yet been set, but stay tuned.
The Carver Music Boosters, a volunteer organization of parents, teachers, and community music-lovers who work to enhance music education in Carver public schools, has launched a new website at http://carvermusic.org/.
The website serves several simultaneous purposes including celebrating the many musical accomplishments of Carver students and communicating to families about upcoming music events in Carver and opportunities for Carver students. The website also acts as a central organizing point for people who wish to support music in Carver.
There are many ways that parents and students can support music in Caver. On the website, there is an opportunity to sign up for Carver Music Boosters emails as well as to learn how to designate Carver Music Boosters as your Amazon Smiles charity of choice.
Carver Music Boosters meet monthly at the Carver Middle High School Lower Library. The next meeting is Monday, November 7 at 7 pm and is open to all.
