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.

NEWS & UPDATES

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.

The Wildlands Trust asked Ms. Whalen to reflect on her experience and she shared “I will be using everything I’ve learned to help guide instruction in my Principles of Ecology class this fall. 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

NEW Banner Reveal Ceremony – Carver Middle High School

You are invited to join us for the New Crusader Banner Reveal Ceremony on Tuesday, August 18, 2026 at 6:30 p.m. in the Ricardo “Rocky” Gomes Gymnasium at Carver Middle High School.

 

Background:
A team of administrators, coaches, former coaches, and a member of the Athletic Boosters met over the last year to consider redesigning and updating the athletic banners in the High School gym and presented their vision to the Carver School Committee and community.

The goal of the new banners is to:

 

  • Create consistency in the look of the banners;
  • Create consistency on what recognitions have a banner;
  • Be able to recognize individual accomplishments across sports by way of a newly renovated foyer area display; and
  • Some banners could benefit from an upgrade

We hope you will be able to join us as we unveil the new banners in the newly named Ricardo “Rocky” Gomes Gymnasium, hear from current and former athletes and coaches and take the opportunity to take a self-guided tour of some of the upgrades to the facility at Carver Middle High School.

A REMINDER TO CMHS ATHLETES:
The fall meet the coaches / sports information night will be on Thursday, August 20, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. and all parent/guardians and students are encouraged to attend for important information about the upcoming season.

Middle High, News

Grades 8-10: Your New School Chromebook is Ready

All students entering grades 8, 9, and 10 will be receiving a brand new school Chromebook! 

To receive your new Chromebook, please stop by Carver Middle High School Main Lobby during one of the following times:

  • Monday, August 3 – Thursday, August 6: 8:00 A.M. – 2:00 P.M.
  • Friday, August 7: 8:00 A.M. – 12:00 P.M.

In order to receive a new device, you must bring your current school-issued Chromebook to  exchange it for the new one. If you are unable to pick up your new Chromebook during the scheduled distribution times, additional information will be provided when school resumes on September 2 regarding when and where you can pick up your new device during school hours. 

You do not need to bring your current charger, as it is compatible with your new Chromebook and you can continue to use it.  If you have lost your charger, replacement chargers will be available for purchase for $35 when you pick up your new Chromebook. You may pay by cash or by check made payable to Carver Middle High School.

This Chromebook will remain assigned to you for as long as you are a student at Carver Middle High School. We encourage you to take good care of it, as it will be your school-issued device throughout your time at CMHS.   While not required, we highly recommend that families purchase a protective Chromebook case. A case helps protect the device from everyday wear and tear while also giving students the opportunity to personalize their Chromebook and make it their own.  Please see the attached link to a recommended Chromebook Cover.  

Looking forward to seeing you soon! Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Sincerely,

Christine Cabral
Principal
Carver Middle High School
