On Jan. 20 Gold Level students were rewarded by being taken out to Lyndall's Sports Grill for a breakfast of their choice and some laser tag with a side of bowling.

Everyone bonded and made memories by which they will remember high school. I personally will always hold dearly the instant teamwork that had sprung up due to a game of laser tag.

All of the Gold Level students would like to thank Principal Ed Zander and teacher Alan Siegel for

all that they do.

On Jan. 14 Team DUI members Willy Sapeta, Steve Tanguay and Pam Inman approached Carlé High School with an objective. Their goal was to reach out to the students and discuss the dangers of drinking and driving.

During their individual speeches to the students who had gathered in the quad, Team DUI related, and expressed emotions that affected us with each word.

Here are reactions from some of the students.

“The moment that impacted me the most is Ms. Inman's story on how she felt not being able to help her son even though he was begging her.”

“I was in a car accident before, I know how it feels.”

Because of them, many peoples can and will be saved. Because of them students are saying, “I will never get in a car with someone who has bee drinking.”

Carlé High School would like to thank Team DUI members Willy Sapeta, Steve Tanguay and Pam Inman for changing lives and futures of many people out there.

At Carlé we are proud and known for our very spectacular media program run by Alan Siegel so we would like to thank Carrol Maninger of Comprehensive Support Systems for donating $1,000 toward media room projects like TV8.

A senior plaque is a very personal thing to receive when graduating, that is why we would like to thank Dr. Barry Munitz for donating $850 for the third year in a row so that graduating seniors will be rewarded their personalized senior plaques.

This year we were afraid of losing an old Carlé tradition known as the student-staff luncheon, which honors hard working students.

Thanks to Kelly Slater, Marsha Willard and other volunteers from the local Soroptimist Club the luncheons will still be possible.

A group of students ( Christine McQuown, Ellie Hackler, Jorge Vieira, Arwen King, Steven Fogg and Austin Weldon)who have a keen interest in culinary will help keep the student-staff luncheon alive and will work with the Soroptimists to pull it off.

Our student of the week this week was Nia Edmunds, who is also Carlé High School's girls arm wrestling champion.

“She is an exceptional student who always works hard and doesn't let anything get in her way,” said super secretary Barbara Dye.

Upcoming events consist of Gary Martins' portfolio at 1:45 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 27, and the end of the third grading period on Friday, Jan. 28.
