Hello Bear Family!🐻
On Friday, November 21st, our students took a trip to Hobcaw Barony in Georgetown. There, they learned about coastal ecology and Hobcaw's history through interactive programs, and the Discovery Center.
They got an up-close and personal introduction to an alligator, explored a saltwater touch tank, and checked out other live animal displays at the Discovery Center. Finally, they took a boat tour and had a lesson on the natural ecosystems of the South Carolina coast, and the importance of the marine life in the area.🐊🐟
What a great way to make learning fun and engaging for our kids!

Our 8th grade scholars in Ms. Graham’s ELA course have been diving deep into their poetry unit, and their poetry slam was a HUGE success! 🎤📖 Through thoughtful writing and powerful performances, students showcased creativity, confidence, and emotional expression. We are so proud of how they brought their words to life and supported one another through the process. Amazing work, young poets! 🌟📝 #CBMSA #ELAStrong #PoetryUnit #PoetrySlam #StudentTalent #FutureAuthors #ArtsIntegration

Our Carvers Bay Middle STEAM Academy Junior Beta Club has officially wrapped up our Socktober community service project. With the support of our generous students, staff, families, and community, we were able to donate over 100 pairs of socks to Georgetown Tidelands Hospice.

This project reminded our Betas of the power of kindness and the importance of serving others with compassion. Something as simple as a pair of socks can bring warmth and comfort to someone in need.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this act of service. Together, we continue to live out the Beta Club motto: Let Us Lead by Serving Others. 🧦💛❤️
