My name is Wendy Hooks and I am the Success Coach for Carver Elementary. My focus here at Carver is to promote a love for reading among the students. The month of February we have a big challenge for our students. The challenge is called "Pedaling Towards Reading Success." Students are being challenged to read as many books as they can on their levels with a score of 100 on the quizzes. The boy and girl with the most 100s will be the winners in each 3rd and 4th grade class. There will also be a Most Improved Student in each class. These students will be selected by Mrs.Smith and myself. Winners will be awarded a brand new bicycle and helmet. Wow - what a prize!!!! We will also award one third grade class and one fourth grade class with a class party. In order to win the class prize, the class must have the most 100s in their grade level. The two classes that win will receive a class cookie decorating party, a small trophy and a bike pin for their medaillons. Please make sure your child is reading each night for twenty to thirty minutes. This is so important!!! If I can be of any assistance, please let me know. My email is whooks@waynecss.org "There is no such thing as a child who hates to read; there are only children who have not found the right book," Frank Serafini

Congratulations to our Carver Beginning Teachers for attending the WCPS New Teacher Orientation. Welcome Ms. Shannon Casey as our new art teacher and returning kindergarten teacher , Mrs Amy Person.

Special thanks to retired Colonel Ken Sullivan and his wife Lisa for attending our Blast off Event.

Carver Elementary held our EOG Blast Off night last night, April 30. While our students enjoyed innovative games all space related, our parents attended an informative meeting with third and fourth grade teachers providing test taking tips, strategies and sample EOG selections and math problems. We had all the information translated in 3 languages for our parents. We also shared information on potential remediation and retesting as well as our Summer Scholars Program. At the end of the session, we provided a complimentary hot dog dinner cooked on the grill by a volunteer. We had an incredible turn out and wanted to share a few highlights from our night with the district. At Carver Elementary we are shooting for the MOON and if we don't make it we can still land on a STAR! We will continue our EOG Theme through June hoping our GROWTH is out of this world!

Come to our EOG Blastoff for 3rd and 4th-grade parents and students to learn tips and strategies to help your child succeed on their EOG test! Tuesday, April 30, 2024 5 to 7:pm Location: Cafeteria (Limit 2 family members)
