At the conclusion of our semifinal game our players ran off in celebration . . . And they ran right to their future teammates who were the first to cheer them on. It means a lot that McCracken football would come and support us. It speaks to a truth we hold in District 7. WE ARE ALL VIKINGS! The future is bright!

These photos show one engine of growth in our building. You see teachers and their classes being celebrated for a great start to their year as measured by benchmarks on learning indicators. You see teachers and an instructional coach taking honest account of what the data says. Where are the wins? Where are the areas that continuous improvement is needed? You see self reflection and questioning of how did I teach this indicator and was it effective? Student growth happens when our teachers collaborate. This is the work.

We need to take a moment and celebrate our wonderful instructional coaches. They partner with our teachers to ensure our students are getting the best. Our growth at Carver is because of the collective work of the whole rather than a few individuals. Our coaches trust and advocate for our teachers. They spend time in their classrooms, helping to plan, and learning their best teaching traits and help to grow them for the benefit of students. Their partnership with teachers is a key to what we do and we're grateful for them. Help us celebrate them.

Rainy days are good times to spend reading a great book! We ensured our students and families had just the book. This week we hosted our Book Fair and Family Literacy Night. Our Hunger Games Themed event had families visit each District and complete a task that brings families together around reading and writing. Thanks to Spartanburg Academic Movement, each family that attended also received a $25 voucher to the book fair so they could grab some titles that would be great to have on days like today! Keep reading Wildcats!
