Leadership Lessons for Grade 9
On Thursday, September 17th the High School Student Council ran a leadership workshop for the entire Grade 9 class. The goal of the event was to provide an inhouse Leadership & Skill Building opportunity for our high school leaders to engage with the incoming freshmen in small-group, round-table, and large-group workshops focused on collaboration, problem-solving, spirit, and inclusivity.
Many thanks to the Student Council E-Board and Advisor Mr. Tresca and the grade 9 students for their work during this event.
Robot Visit at CMHS
Keith Weirich from TechEd came to Carver Middle High School to show off the Stokes G1 humanoid robot to Robotics classes.

Pathways on the Move!
This spring several teachers participated in an externship with local Pathways partners which included Flexo Concepts our MET lead partner who hosted MET Teacher Mr. Arruda and the Wildlands Trust who hosted science teacher Ms. Whalen.
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
