Hello Bear Family!
On Friday, November 28th, Carvers Bay Middle STEAM Academy Proteam and Men of Cohesion welcomed Mr. Dashawn Drayton, author of the "Maurice Leadership Chronicles," for a special event. Mr. Drayton shared insights on how character development fosters leadership skills.

His book, centered around a fictional character named Maurice, explores themes of responsibility and service. Known for being playful, Maurice decides to plan a surprise for his mother, involving cleaning, wrapping, and thoughtful actions. This illustrated story from the L.D.R.S.H.I.P. Chronicles teaches young readers that true service means dedicating time and effort for others without expecting anything in return.
The book emphasizes the importance of teaching children to prioritize others, fostering empathy, teamwork, and lasting leadership qualities. It serves as a valuable resource for parents and educators aiming to instill social-emotional skills early on.

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!
