Carver Middle School -

District 7 schools and offices are closed today in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. As we pause to serve in our community and connect with one another by making this a "day on" rather than just a day off, we are heartened by Dr. King's wise reminder that "Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education."

Today the Wildcats presented a check of $5000 to Hope Center for Children. Funds were raised all fall semester by students and staff via a friendly Clemson/Carolina rivalry. The Hope Center direcly benefits members of the Carver community. Thanks to Mrs. Petty for teaching our students that giving is fun.

Mrs. Grant's 8th Grade English class continues to grow in mastery of sentence fragments, subject verb-agreement, verb tense, and voice. They are also improving their ability to chose which parts of a text are the best examples and non-examples for an argument. Mrs. Grant's class is engaging, thought provoking, and respectful. Her students have great interaction with each other and Mrs. Grant. Students having to justify why a passage of text is an example or non-example causes their critical thinking to be front and center.
