WIN is a 30 minute block held every day at CMHS...

Students decide what to do based on what they NEED during this time each day...

Some youth attend extra help sessions with a teacher one day and another participate in an activity that meets their individualized self care plan.

The Caring Crusaders Club offers a WIN for students- ALL ARE WELCOME.

The Caring Crusaders Care about Our health and wellness (body and mind); We Care about each other; and we Care about Our Community. We encourage each other to make positive choices and understand that sometimes we might struggle. Therefore, this is a space to not only help others, but to receive that support from peers.

The Caring Crusaders club will continue their campaign to spread care and compassion throughout the community with Caring Carnation Day- the first annual event will be held on the 2nd Friday of February. Stay tuned to see how it all turns out!

The first annual Caring Carnation Day came early this year! The students of CCC attended the Senior Breakfast on February 7th to hand out the 93 Caring Carnations personally addressed to each student in the Class of 2025. The students of CCC focused their messaging on inspirational quotes for Seniors as they approach the final weeks of HS in Carver. The CCC wishes the Class of 2025 all the best!
