Hello readers and welcome to the Carl? Chronicle, the primary news source for all things Carl?.
Carl? High School held its open house Thursday.
The March 17 through 21 Student of the Week was Destiny Cypert, who has shown a great sense of maturity and self-motivation toward her schoolwork.
The March 24 through 28 Student of the Week is Paul Yanez, who takes the time to help other students succeed while still juggling his own work and Carl?”s upcoming play, written by him and fellow student DeAndre Morris.
At Carl?, students who pursue their academics to their full potential are awarded gold-level privileges. Achieving gold-level academics requires students to maintain a 90-percent attendance rate and achieve a minimum of 15 credits in a single grading period. Gold-level students receive open-campus privileges during lunch, along with a number of special gold-level trips during the year.
In the next gold-level trip, Robin Shrive and Angie Siegel will take gold-level students to Jellystone Park for a day filled with outdoor fun under the sun.
We”d like to take the time to thank Healthy Start worker Mari Valdez, who is always willing to help students with their health care and dental hygiene, along with helping the girls with prom dresses and giving all around good advice.
Carl?”s staff is preparing to generate senior award titles and plaques, which are individually designed with each student in mind. The awards will be based on students” achievements in school and personal interests. A big thanks goes out to Barry Munitz who generously donated $1,000 toward funding the senior plaques.
Many students at Carl? High School are avid readers, and their enthusiasm for literature is encouraged. Students and staff alike share their favorite books, short stories, poems and other literary works with each other to expand their views and find new sources of knowledge and reading.
This week, Carl? readers have been pumped about the novel Divergent, a fast-paced and thrilling story by author Veronica Roth set in a futuristic dystopian version of Chicago. In the book, society is divided between five separate factions with their own separate views of the world. Divergent is the first book of the Divergent trilogy, and an upcoming film of the book was released in theaters on March 21.
Students Roy Kirk and Sabrina Farnan designed keychains to give out for donations to fund the prom.
There are currently about 100 keychains for sale, which cost $7 each, although buyers have the choice to give larger donations.
Every dollar earned from keychain sales helps fund the school”s prom and is appreciated.
Carl? Chronicle readers who want to buy a keychain can call the school at 994-1033.
