Hi, my name is Doyle Conatser and myself and fellow student Danny Salvante will be the new writers for the Carlé Chronicle.

This week we are introducing three new students: Bruce Hamilton, Kevin Hazelwood and Kristin Melcher. We hope they have great success and reach their goals here in this wonderful school.

We also have announced the new gold level students from the third grading period: Jose Bendana, Rene Espinoza, Jasmine Heckard, Chris Nuzzo, Regina Perrin-Clanton, Daniel Salvante and Quintessa Strahl. Congratulations to them all. They will go on a gold level field trip, have off-campus privileges during lunch and also take part in the silver level movie.

Our special secretary Barbara Dye designed unique awards to become part of their portfolios. In addition our school put out sustainability awards to each and every student who held or bettered their levels from second to third grade periods.

Each of these students will be able to work with our media class designers to make themselves a special memento. Finally drawings were held for our perfect attendance students and student Gage Fowler who has had perfect attendance all year won both drawings.

This week’s student of the week is Jose Bendana. Jose is a wonderful student and a deep thinker who truly is an asset to our school. Jose is a gamer who plans on and already is designing his own games.

Our winner for CHILYs this week is Robert McGraw and he chose a basketball.

We would like to thank Dr. Barry Munitz for his $1,000 donation to our media program to make plaques for our graduating seniors.

We also have received a $200 donation from Dr. Howard Jaffe toward our much-needed van project. 

We at Carlé understand that you can read about things or experience them and the van would go a long way to us being able to do more college visits and enrichment opportunities. So far we have had about $3,000 donated toward our goal.

We have hazmat classes going on and our very own science teacher Angie Siegel is teaching the class. Next week’s article will name the students and detail their activities.

Just announced is that the media class is sponsoring a mouse pad contest for all students. All students who submit a unique design that involves Carlé High School will have that put on a mouse pad and given to them as their prize. This is a popular contest that usually has about 25 submissions out of our 88 students.
