Carroll County Middle School

Students and Staff enjoyed our first official house assembly of the year. The Line Dancing Club opened up the show for us today. Then we recognized our students of the month. Edwin Herrera Bautista and Mason Brent are the fifth grade students of the month, Brooklyn Shovlin and Bryson Courtney are the sixth grade students of the month, Matthew Baron Tingle and Ryan Morris are the seventh grade students of the month, and Keyla Hernandez Garcia and Madison Chesher are the eighth grade students of the month.
We concluded our show with members of each house competing to see who could “run the gauntlet” the fastest. The challenges included a mummy race where students had to work together to get wrapped, run a short distance, and unwrapped so the next person could go. The second phase of the race was a speed puzzle challenge. The last part was leading your house through their house chants. Amistad, the red house, were the winners of today's challenge.
More photos from today’s assembly will be posted to Facebook.

The Panther Store officially opened this morning, and there was quite a large turnout. These students have been working hard and earning points by consistently meeting, or exceeding, their ROAR expectations.

Over the summer our maintenance team worked hard to construct the new and improved Panther Store here at Carroll County Middle School. Ms. Carmen Simo-Perkins has also been working hard getting the store ready for students. A store isn’t complete without employees though. Kelsey Hash and Mason Roberts, both in the Eighth grade, are returning to their jobs this school year, but there are five more positions available. Seventh and Eighth grade students can apply to work at the Panther Store. Students who are interested can pick up applications from the front office. Applications are due by Tuesday August 19th. Interviews for Seventh Grade students will be held on August 20th and 21st. Interviews for Eighth Grade students will be held on August 25th and 26th.

The Carroll County Food Pantry has set its fall schedule. Those needing help can receive food every eight weeks, unless an emergency is approved by the pantry. Commodities are available monthly. Carroll County residents can utilize both the food pantry and commodities.

Mr. Roberts utilizes a variety of Brain Breaks in his classroom. These Brain Breaks help his students by allowing them to focus on something other than their school work for a brief moment. Today the students played a game Mr. Roberts is very passionate about, Simon Says. Mr. Roberts plays the game in a way that keeps the students alert. They have to think quickly and critically about the instructions they receive. Winners of the game receive extra PBIS points as a reward for their effort and success.

Today at Carroll County Middle School our students and staff participated in our first House Assembly of the year. The students spent the first part of the morning becoming familiar with their houses. Afterwards, all of the students gathered in the gym and showed off their house cheers. We’re looking forward to having more time to learn and grow with our houses this year.

Fifth graders experienced their first day at Carroll County Middle School day, and they were a happy crew!
"We had a fantastic opening day of school today! It was great to see everyone and their smiling faces today," Superintendent Casey Jaynes said. "We have the best team of people to work with your students. Each staff member goes above and beyond to make sure that we are Empowering Integrity and Engaging Community each day to be a top 10 district in the state."

Panther families, don't forget to send your student to school with their 🪪badge🪪 tomorrow!
Badging on and off the bus is a vital way to keep students safe. They also use the badges in the cafeteria and library. We are looking forward to a great year!
