Welcome Back 2020-21

Welcome back to school! We have missed you all! Please let me know if you would like a career counseling appointment, or a group google meet with your friends. We can do career assessments virtually and explore careers together. Here is one of my fav quotes about choosing your future career: 

“When I went to school, I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I said Happy, they said I didn’t understand the assignment, I said they didn’t understand life.” By John Lennon, the Beatles

School Years 2018-19 and 2019-20! Catching up!

So this is our Electives Team at Apex Friendship Middle School and Staff members who serve in other roles, like I am the Career Counselor, on the CTE team, there are a few Administrators on here as well!

This is a message to encourage our students during the pandemic...💓 

I have more CTE Team pics on my Google Site, which is linked to my weebly website, enjoy!

For Apex Friendship High School, I decided to make a collage to encourage our students during the pandemic...from our CTE Department, following our middle school next door's great ideas! 

Hey CTE Family! We have the wonderful opportunity this year to help raise money for one of our own here at Carroll Magnet Middle School. This year is the 4th annual Sami 5k. Each year the Sami 5k sponsors a family with medical expenses and donates 100% of the proceeds to the family. What began as an event to help one family has now evolved to an annual event that continues to help other families in need. This year 100% of the proceeds will go to our student Chris Holich. Chris suffers from Mitochondrial Complex 1. It’s a rare disease that develops in the first year of infancy and is a rapidly progressive disease. He is often in and out of the hospital and insurance won’t cover all his medical expenses. Our Carroll family is extremely important to us and we are constantly teaching our students #OtherPeopleMatter. So this is just one way we get to show Chris just how much he matters to us!!!

Just by donating $10 not only will you be giving to a great cause but you will also get a chance to win a bundle pack from me just to show how grateful Carroll Middle is for your donation. Also, get entered into a raffle for Rodans and Fields accessories worth over $200! Register below:

PLTW Innovators and Makers and App Creators

It has been a really busy week learning procedures, gaining logins, accessing devices, and beginning our journey into Computer Science.  Please ask your child, "What does a computer scientist do?" You'll be surprised at how their understanding and awareness has grown already! Next week, we begin the self-paced work with paired programming in App Creators. It will be important to remind your child about how to work well with a partner. We will discuss this at school, also. Innovators and Makers have been learning about physical computing and how a computer processes information. It's quite a task.  Next week, they will begin writing programs and be using their online text to independently walk through algorithms.

Welcome

Welcome to the Carroll Magnet Middle School CTE Department blog.  We will post updates when we have any to share. Please feel free to email us if you have questions or comments about our classes, your child, or our curriculum.
