With Eagle Pride,
Carver Administration Staff
We are beaming with pride as we celebrate our students and Mrs. Celis for their outstanding performance at the 2025 RoboVance Tournament!
Our team showcased incredible creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills — true qualities of an All-Star.
We are thrilled to announce that Carver Elementary brought home the
First Place Trophy!
This win is more than just a title — it’s a reflection of our students’ hard work, Mrs. Celis, their advisor’s dedication, and the unstoppable spirit of Team Carver.
Congratulations to our RoboVance All-Stars!
You dreamed big, worked hard, and shined bright — just like we knew you would!
🌟 Carver Elementary School Announcement 🌟
We are excited to celebrate and recognize three outstanding individuals who go above and beyond for our students and school community each and every day!
Teacher of the Year: Mrs. McCoy
Mrs. McCoy is the true definition of a master teacher. Her expertise in instruction and classroom management sets a high bar for excellence. She not only leads with knowledge but with heart—serving as a mentor to beginning teachers and consistently supporting their growth. As our Rocket Math teacher, she keeps students excited about learning while ensuring they meet and exceed expectations. Her dedication and leadership are an inspiration to us all!
Beginning Teacher of the Year: Ms. Stroud
Ms. Stroud has quickly made her mark at Carver! Her students absolutely love her, and it’s clear why—she shows up every day with energy, care, and a commitment to growth. Always seeking feedback, she often asks, “What can I do differently?” or “How did I do during that observation?” Her drive to continuously improve and do what’s best for her students is truly admirable.
Teacher Assistant of the Year: Ms. Vaughn
Ms. Vaughn is the kind of teammate every school dreams of. No matter the task, she steps in with a smile and a positive attitude—never complaining, always helping. Even during her pregnancy, she continues to be a dependable and dedicated member of our team. We are so grateful for her selfless spirit and the support she provides to our teachers and students alike.
Please join us in congratulating Mrs. McCoy, Ms. Stroud, and Ms. Vaughn!
Your hard work, heart, and commitment to our All-Star students do not go unnoticed!
We proudly inducted five outstanding students into the National Beta Club here at Carver Elementary! These scholars have demonstrated excellence in academics, character, leadership, and service—the core pillars of Beta Club membership.
Being a part of the National Beta Club is more than just an honor—it’s a commitment to making a positive impact in our school and community. We are so proud of our new members and can’t wait to see how they continue to shine as leaders and role models.
