A CCHS alumna, Debbie Shelton, returned last week to the band room she loved when she was a student in Carroll County. Shelton was a guest director for the band as it prepares for the state assessment. “This has been so fun for me,” Shelton said. “I fell in love with music in this room and here I am 50 years later with a career I have adored.” Shelton retired after 30 years as a band director in middle and high schools. The CCHS band earned their spot in the state assessments after receiving a distinguished rating during the district music competition. “Playing at the state assessment is a big deal,” Shelton said. They will compete in early May. Shelton gave advice to the band on techniques, how to play portions of the music that will be most attractive to the judges, and encouraged them to continue playing and learning. “As a musician, you’re always learning that you can be better,” Shelton said. “You sound terrific. Keep working on the details.”

Cartmell students creating the Sellers Community Garden are partnering with the Carroll County Conservation District tomorrow to distribute seed packets and trees.🌱🌳 The Sellers Community Garden is a project initially proposed by Deacon Sellers, a Cartmell student and member of the Student Technology Leadership Program (STLP). Deacon passed away last year and his classmates decided to honor his legacy by pursuing his dream of creating a community garden. The students have worked closely with the conservation district to learn about planting vegetables and flowers. 🥕🫑🌷🌻 Students will also make a presentation for the public about their STLP project in the conference room of the conservation district office. The public is invited to listen to their presentation and pick up a free tree and/or seed packet. The office is located at 1802 Highland Avenue.
