What an incredible Carroll Magnet Middle School 7th grade field day today! Our students had a blast, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the support from our parent volunteers. H/t to Mrs. Westbrook and Ms. Carter for their collective work in organizing today’s events. 🤩

Strong student engagement throughout Ms. Gilberti’s Carroll Magnet Middle School 7th grade Math class today as the class dives deep into their unit review this morning. Math is always fun, meaningful with high usage of key vocabulary in Ms. Gilberti’s room — today was no exception. 🤩
