Principle Ed Zander developed a new prize called the “Mystery Box” for students who receive “Chily” awards. Chily stands for “Carlé High Is Liking You.”

Every week students will have the option of choosing the mysterious prize hidden under a box, hence the name. It has become a really fun prize for the students.

Karalena Cole is a student at Carlé Continuation High School in Lower Lake, Calif.
