Carvers Bay Middle STEAM Academy will observe Mental Health Awareness Week next week, May 11th–15th. Throughout the week, we will participate in activities designed to encourage self-care, kindness, positivity, and emotional wellness among our students and staff. At CBMSA, we believe that taking care of our minds is just as important as taking care of our bodies, and we want all of our Bears to remember that YOU MATTER.

Please see our themed activities for the week below:

Monday, May 11th – Mindful Monday
Students may participate in journaling activities in the cafeteria focused on gratitude, goals, and positive thoughts.

Tuesday, May 12th – Mood and Mind Snacks
Students will enjoy granola bars and yogurt during lunch as we promote healthy habits for the mind and body.

Wednesday, May 13th – Dogs Leave Paw Prints on Your Heart
Students will have the opportunity to pet a dog during recess as we highlight the calming benefits animals can provide.

Thursday, May 14th – Inside Out Day
Students may wear their clothes inside out or wear Inside Out movie-themed clothing to promote emotional awareness and expression.

Friday, May 15th – Break the Stigma and Green Out
Students and staff are encouraged to wear green in support of Mental Health Awareness Month and to help break the stigma surrounding mental health.

We are excited to celebrate this important week together and encourage everyone to be kind to their minds and kind to each other.

🌱💚 Growing more than gardens… we’re growing community!

In honor of National Ag Day, our 4-H students took part in a meaningful community project by creating seed packs to share with others. These seed packs were delivered to the Carvers Bay Library, where community members can pick up seeds and start their own gardens—promoting sustainability, healthy living, and a love for agriculture.

We also extend a heartfelt thank you to the Georgetown County Farm Bureau for supporting this initiative by providing seeds for our project and donating plants for our school garden in honor of National Ag Day. Your generosity continues to make a lasting impact on our students and our school community.

We are grateful for such an amazing community partner as we continue to grow and serve together! 🌿🌼

Last night’s Literary Salon was truly one for the books ✨📚

Our CBMSA Bears showed up and showed out as six of our very own published student authors—Temperance Vandeross, Kamden Vandeross, Harmony Montgomery, William Dozier, Matthew Ridley, and Joseph McLean—took the stage to discuss their powerful pieces featured in Fright Club. Each scholar spoke with confidence, insight, and creativity, leaving the audience inspired and proud.

Guiding the conversation was published author Marlanda Dekine, who engaged our panelists with thoughtful questions that allowed their voices and stories to shine. She also blessed us with two of her own poems, and our students had the opportunity to turn the tables and ask her questions—what a full-circle moment!

The evening continued with a special book signing, where guests received autographed manuscripts from our student authors, followed by a lovely reception filled with celebration and community.

We are beyond proud of our young authors and grateful for an evening that truly captured the power of student voice, storytelling, and literacy at CBMSA 💛🐻 #SpringingIntoReading #CBMSABears #StudentAuthors #LiteracyMatters
