Coyote Café Thank Yous!

THANK YOU to all of the families that donated books, the gift of money and their TIME to make this such a successful event. It truly is one of the more magical days at school. 

The kids enjoyed shopping for a new book to take home, got a bookmark and grabbed a cookie before stopping for a special class photo. 

We love this event so much we even invited some special district visitors! 

Thanks to your support this fall, we’re able to provide meaningful resources directly to students and teachers. Coyote Donations in Action gives you a behind-the-scenes look at how those dollars are making a difference. Follow us on Facebook or Instagram to see more info on Coyote Donations in Action and see some smiling faces using these items!

Mrs. Hoyt’s 2nd grade 

  • New books chosen with the students' interest in mind- she wanted students to have books they were excited to read.
  • Added labels and bins to organize the space, making it easier for students to find books they love and take pride in caring for them.

Mrs. Wright used her financial gift to bring even more hands-on math learning to her students.

  • Whiteboard markers and notebooks to bring a more hands on approach to math learning. 

Mrs. Huaman used her financial gift to support language development with her students in 1:1 and small-group settings. She purchased a Lakeshore Learning figurative language game to help students practice idioms, metaphors, and similes in a fun, engaging way.

These enriching resources are possible thanks to the generosity of our incredible Carver community. 

Hello, Spirit Squad!

With a vision to spread kindness and smiles, this idea was brought to life by second-grade teacher Ms. Laland and friends

In December, the Spirit Squad stopped by each teacher and staff member with a treat and a cup of coffee. 

A huge thank you to Hometown Bank for generously donating coffee for our staff! Their support helped keep our teachers and staff energized and feeling appreciated. We are so grateful for our community partners!

Did you know Carver has its very own yearbook? Thanks to two amazing parents who collect photos and stories all year long, we’re able to create a special memory book for our students. Kids absolutely love getting their yearbooks at the end of the year - it’s always a highlight!
