Mrs. Erin Bouchillon, LVT from Greenville Technical College, spoke with Ms. Beasley's career classes today about being a veterinarian technician.

They examined animal x-rays, performed chest compressions, and bandaged an artificial animal's legs.

On April 15th, AVID students went on a field trip to USC Upstate to tour. They learned about the extracurricular activities, requirements, and other additional assets of Upstate. They got to see the pool, the e-sports center, the workout area, and explored more buildings. They also got permission to play basketball inside of the gym. After, they ate at the buffet. The buffet offered pizza, burgers, quesadillas, salads, and other delicious foods. By Bradley

Our 8th Grade Career Exploration Class recently experienced interviewing for a job. They first chose what profession they wanted to interview for. Then they prepared with their teachers, Mrs. Beasley and Ms. Miller, for the interview day by creating a resume and writing their answers to interview questions. Finally, they actually participated in their interview with professionals from inside our building and from the community. They were scored based on their resume, their presentation in the interview, how they sold their skills, and how they closed the interview out. Thank you to Dr. Arleen Newett, Mrs. Karen Dawkins, and Ms. Tiffany Beasley for being our community professionals who joined us in interviewing our students. #Carverisgoingforgreat

We recently had a great time hosting 5th grade students from Mary H. Wright, E.P. Todd School, Cleveland Academy, and Meeting Street!

Bring all our questions and let's make their transition as smooth as possible. #Carverosgoingforgreat #D7isgoingforgreat
