@peterhreynolds I may be bias but Garvin has a nice, creative ring to it

Garvin Teachers and Staff run on Dunkin’ thanks to an amazing family donation! Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

Happy Independent Bookstore Day! We visited @unlikelybkstore today. The kids were told they could each pick one book and after they made their selections they kept saying, “do you want this one, Mom?” in the hopes I would pick up another one they wanted... and I caved x 5!

[Michelle Carter @mrsmtcarter]

Best message of the day! Mrs. Sutherland’s class is in for a funky surprise. The Carter Family library to the rescue!

The owls are flocking to Garvin’s Kindness Tree! So many of our students are showing acts of kindness to support the Feinstein Foundation initiative.

What do you do with an idea? Change the world! 🌎

Today, I read “What Do You Do With an Idea?” to Mrs. Bush’s 2nd grade class from Garvin Elementary.

The story outlines that when you get brave, take chances, and say yes to new experiences, amazing things can happen. ⭐️

Meet Liv! She is making snowflakes & they’re awesome. I got two sets to decorate the office and they’re real crowd pleasers! If you’re local and want your own reach out to Liv and her mom Kayla @ B & M Printing (a wonderful Cumberland small biz). ❄️ 💜

I think the only time I take a deep breath during my work week is when I'm listening to Levar Burton Reads on my morning commute. Hurry @levarburton, I'm holding my breath until the next new episode!

[Michelle Carter @mrsmtcarter]

We will make this work Garvin Owls! Thank you for your understanding and flexibility!

[Cumberland School Department @CumberlandSchls]

Due to ongoing staffing issues at Garvin Elementary School and the DOH's difficulty in responding to close contacts in a timely manner, Garvin will be moving to distance learning for the week of Dec. 14th.

[Michelle Carter @mrsmtcarter]

Stay safe Garvin Owls

[Cumberland School Department @CumberlandSchls]

We are working with the Rhode Island Department of Health to appropriately respond to the positive cases we reported to you yesterday at Garvin School.  We need to make tomorrow, Friday, Dec. 11th, a distance learning day to allow the DOH to complete the required contact tracing.

[Michelle Carter @mrsmtcarter]

Stay safe Garvin Owls

[Cumberland School Department @CumberlandSchls]

Out of an abundance of caution, a decision has been made for Garvin Elementary School to go to Distance Learning tomorrow, Thursday, December 10, 2020.  We recently learned that two staff members have tested positive for COVID-19.  We are waiting for guidance from the RIDOH.

It is truly an honor to be considered an honorary art teacher when I get to work with creative students and the best art teacher around!! #HootieHoo
