Happy 10th week of school, Carl?. We are more than halfway through the second grading period.
Student of the week last week was Jacob Davis. He has been working hard to graduate, and he is a model student. Davis came back to school this year with his eyes directly on the prize of graduation and we are proud of him.
I would like to give a huge thank you to all of Carl?”s students for their good behavior during last week”s barbecue. We look forward to having another one soon. I would also like to give a huge thank you to all the students and staff for setting up this barbecue. People who helped with the barbecue were Lukas Carlson, Chenoa Schmidt, Jeremy Hunter, Chris Stutz and Charles Warren and many others. Carlson and Schmidt barbecued all the burgers and the chicken that they personally brought in to cook for the staff. Hunter and Warren set up and played the music. Stutz helped clean up after the barbecue and made our campus look even better than it did before. This is what makes Carl? such a huge success, students and staff working together to achieve common goals.
Oct. 31 will be the end of the second grading period. Students who have gold level, silver level or bronze level with 100 percent attendance will get to watch a fun movie that they will choose as a reward.
The student council is planning Halloween activities. There will be a door decorating contest. The plans include pumpkin carving, movies and a costume contest. There will also be pumpkin spiced drinks. The student council gets to run an activity the first Friday of each grading period.
Sabrina Farnan, Marla Mitchell and Summer Gunn made plaques to thank the kindness of the people that did the dental screenings written about in our last column. They, along with the rest of the media class designers, have begun work on more than 100 personalized book marks that will be given out to each and every person on our campus as a holiday gift. We recognize that the holiday season is not always the best of times for all of our students. That is why we have made the effort each of the last many years to have a special gift for each of our wonderful students.
This week”s CHILY winner was Craig Stevens. Student of the week this week was Kelly Alvarez. She was one of the highest credit earners on our third week progress report. Alvarez is a phenomenal student who gives her best each and every day.
The first gold level trip this year for the first grading period is in the final planning stages. Students who earned 15 credits and had better than 90 percent attendance will be invited to attend.
