📚STEM on the Edge: Celebrating Multilingual Learners in STEM!!

Last Wednesday, CCS STEM hosted its fourth annual STEM on the Edge pipeline event! Ten students from each of our STEM schools were invited to participate in this special event celebrating our Multilingual Learners and their talents in STEM.

This year, students explored the exciting world of disc golf with a guest speaker from Down 4 Disc Golf. They learned how to play the sport, investigated the science and mechanics behind throwing discs using Tech Discs, and put their engineering skills to the test by working together to design and build their own putt-putt holes.

Throughout the event, students demonstrated teamwork, creativity, problem-solving, and communication while making real-world connections to STEM. It was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate our Multilingual Learners and showcase how STEM brings students together through hands-on learning!
 

Student Wellness

Meet Our School Counselors!

Irvin Families,

During Bully Prevention Month, our K–5 school counselors will be working with students in their classrooms to build awareness around kindness, respect, and safe relationships with peers. 
Students will learn the difference between mean behavior, conflict, and bullying, including that under North Carolina law, bullying/harassing behavior involves a pattern of behavior that causes fear of harm or creates a hostile environment that substantially interferes with a student’s educational experience.

We will also practice ways students can respond appropriately, seek help, include others, and be an upstander when they see someone being treated unfairly. 

We will have a bully prevention spirit week coming the week of October 19th so be on the lookout for a flyer coming soon!

As always, please use this link to fill out if you would like us to see your student for any support!

Thank you! 
Mrs. Carey and Ms. Delgado

🌟 Positivity Project: Spiral Review: Integrity | OPM – Words & Actions | Bravery | Creativity | Teamwork🌟

Dear Families,

This week, we will our P2 Review Week, where we will revisit and highlight important character strengths that help our students grow both academically and personally. Throughout the week, we will focus on Integrity | OPM – Words & Actions | Bravery | Creativity | Teamwork

Teachers will re-explore these character strengths with students, helping them make meaningful connections to how these traits can be demonstrated in their everyday lives. Students will also engage in Project-Based Learning (PBL) activities designed to reinforce and apply these strengths in real-world situations.

We look forward to a week of reflection, growth, and celebration of the positive character our students show each day!

Thank you for your support!
