Eighth grade students wrapped up the time capsule deposits yesterday at Carroll County Middle School.
They began their Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA) testing today after being encouraged all week by staff and administrators.
“We are going to refuse to be red,” CCMS Principal Dr. Robin Stephenson said. “I know you’ve worked extremely hard this year and now is your time to shine. I am confident that you can score yellow.”
The school has made “Hello, Yellow 2024” its testing theme this year. They intend to move out of red, bypass orange and land in the yellow after this year’s testing. Each level of results is assigned a color by the Kentucky Department of Education.
The time capsule, filled with the negative thoughts of all grades, was buried yesterday so they can say goodbye to the negative and hello to the positive attitude and approach to testing and all facets of their education.
The Carroll County Middle School bands entertained a crowd at their spring concert recently.
CCMS gathered its seventh graders this morning for their opportunity to bury their negatives and look forward to success on its Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA) testing next week. Students dropped the negatives into a time capsule then got a fist bump from their teachers and administrators.
Principal Dr. Robin Stephenson showed the students how our neighbors in Gallatin, Henry and Owen scored on their testing last year compared to Carroll County.
“We’re done with red. We will no longer be in red,” she said to the crowd. “I am confident this year we’re going all the way from red to yellow.” The school has made its testing motto “Hello, Yellow 2024.”
“I believe in you and I know you’re going to do your best on Friday,” Stephenson said.
Students in each grade are going through the same process this week. The time capsule with all the negatives will be buried on the school grounds on Thursday.
Sixth grade students at Carroll County Middle School committed to do their best when Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA) testing begins next week. Each class at CCMS will drop their negative thoughts in a time capsule, which will be buried on Thursday. Students received a fist bump from their teachers as well as school and district administrators.
Carroll County Middle School students were challenged to stick to a budget as part of the 4-H Dollars & Sense Program.
The students were given $200 to pay for their expenses based on their current age. They visited 15 booths for expenses ranging from decorating their rooms, caring for a pet or buying products or services they want. They do not have to pay for housing.
4-H volunteers and student members led the event with the help of Joyce Doyle, 4-H youth development agent.
The goal of the program is to teach that budgeting is not an easy task and it is important to learn the difference between what a person wants versus what they actually need.

Fifth graders at Carroll County Middle School committed to doing their best on the upcoming Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA) testing this morning. They dropped slips of paper with their worries and concerns into a time capsule that will be buried at CCMS later this week.
CCMS Principal Dr. Robin Stephenson showed students what our neighbors in Owen, Gallatin and Henry scored on their KSA testing last year and challenged the students to beat them this year.
“We’re no longer going to say we can’t do that,” Stephenson said. “We’re burying that. We’re getting rid of the ‘I can’t’ for CCMS today.”
She encouraged the students to realize they are no different than their counterparts at Owen, Gallatin and Henry and they are just as capable of scoring high on the KSA test.
Each student received a fist bump from the fifth grade teachers as well as school and district administrators.
