HUNTER THOMAS
Hunter works tirelessly as one of our starting outside midfielders who constantly is running box to box. He has to work on both ends of the field by defending for us, and then creating offense on the opposite end. This week he was able to secure a hat-trick for us and put in a solid all around performance to help us get the win.
COLIN EAKINS
Colin Eakins on Friday night had 8 catches, 156 yards receiving and 2 touchdown receptions while also having 7 carries and 35 yards rushing on the ground. In the last 4 games he has 27 catches, 534 yards receiving and 5 touchdown catches. Whether making key catches on offense or locking down opponents on defense, he continues to be a dependable leader and competitor every week.

Athletic Banner Project
At the end of last year, a team of administrators, coaches, former coaches, and a member of the Athletic Boosters met to consider redesigning and updating the athletic banners in the High School gym. Mrs. Kincade reviewed their proposal at the recent school committee meeting on September 29, 2025. The 4 main reasons for the projects is to:
- Create consistency in the look of the banners;
- Create consistency on what recognitions have a banner as there has been an inconsistency in what has been recognized over the years;
- In alignment with consistency, address the concern that several sports were looking to add individual accomplishment banners since some sports have them and some do not; and
- Some banners could benefit from an upgrade.
All individual state championships will still have a banner. All individual sports accomplishments (i.e. 1000 points) will be on a plaque that will be displayed in the athletic lobby. Any name recognized on the current banners will be displayed either on new banners or on plaques displayed in the lobby.
Please click here to view all of the new proposed banners and plaques.
In order to give the community the opportunity for questions, the school committee will not vote to approve the new proposed banners until their next meeting on October 20, 2025.Please address any questions to Superintendent, Scott Knief at KniefS@carver.org

Anti-Bullying Lessons at CES
Our Fall Bullying Prevention School wide lessons took place on October 9. Counselors, teachers and building administrators partnered together to read a book, co-teach the lesson and support the students as we discussed how we can all work together to reduce bullying behaviors in our school. Student showed high interest in the topic and their participation during the lesson was strong. We encourage you to talk with your children at home about what they learned at school. Asking them questions about the books: The Pout-Pout Fish and Bully, Bully Shark (Grades K-3 and Weird, A Story about Dealing with Bullying Grades 4 -5) is a great way to start the dialogue. We are intentional about supporting our students to reduce bullying behaviors, increase a positive school climate, build student resiliency and promote positive social skills.
There’s a whole lot of science going on!
Students at CMHS were invited to join MassBio Ed for a Foodborne Illness Lab where students had to examine foods to determine which was the contained sample. Students were able to participate in this college level lab using high-level equipment as well. Also in the world of science – select Innovation Pathways teachers and students were invited to attend the Blue Futures conference in Plymouth last week where they were able to hear about future careers in innovation and environmental sciences and got to meet Bill Nye “the Science Guy”

October 9, 2025
CHARLES DONOVAN – Golf
Charlie has shown great leadership this season. His play helped the Crusaders to win 4 of their final 5 matches to close the season. Charlie was low medalist in the final match of the season vs. Rising Tide. He also improved his average by 3.4 strokes per round from the previous season.
CHARLOTTE ROGERS – Soccer
Freshman defender Charlotte Roger’s relentless effort and outstanding defensive play has earned her Athlete of the Week. While defenders don’t always show up on the state sheet, Charlotte constantly shuts down opponents, protects her keeper, and controls her side of the field with confidence and toughness.
