On the cold fall morning of Friday Oct. 29, Carlé High School's Harvest Fest took place thanks to all of the hard work of student council members and the students who stayed after school to help out.
Student council members are Stevie Cook, Karalena Cole, Holly Brumback, Leah Davidson, Joe Maninger, Jason Hammond, Rachelle Addington, Jorge Vieira, Jeremy Burton, Aaron Mearns, Erika Streckfuss, Bianca Frias, Brandon Haggard, Christine McQuown, Stephanie Trout, and Nia Edmonds. Other students who helped: Justin Boyce, Nick Ford, Holly Brumback, David Echols, Levi Floyd, Darren Gasperoni, Ittaly Heart and Nate Oberdorf.
The morning started off spooky as the students heard a scream lingering from the quad. Students and teachers ran out of their rooms, finding Gary Oakes – our custodian – lying on the cold ground. This meant the first game of Harvest Fest had begun. It was up to all of the students to find out “Who
killed Gary?” in this interactive game of Clue, directed by Karalena Cole and Stevie Cook.
While this game went on everyone stayed with their advisory carving pumpkins, face painting, door decorating and having a costume contest.
The advisories challenged each other to see who could get the most creative, which would earn them points towards the day's overall winner.
“An amazing, and fun time, with a race to see who will win,” said student David Echols.
From then on a series of events took place.
The activities were as follows: Haunted musical chairs, directed by Jorge Viera and Jeremy Burton; muddy carcass worm hunt, directed by Leah Davidson; holy ghost chase, directed by Rachelle Addington; fear factor pie-eating contest, directed by Karalena Cole and Stevie Cook; exploding hearse relay, directed by Jason Hammond and Joe Maninger; Bloody Mary's apple bobbing, directed by Christine McQuown and Stephanie Trout, and the final event of the day a pumpkin relay, directed by Erika Streckfuss and Aaron Mearns.
The first place advisory overall was Verna's, earning a total of 30 points.
Second place was a tie between Steve's and Angie's advisory earning 25 points, and in third place was Alan's advisory earning 24 points.
“All day we had fun,” said students L.J Stewart and Robby Smith.
Students who stayed to clean up after Harvest Fest were Tonya Smith, Erika Streckfuss, Bianca Frias, Nate Oberdorf, Karalena Cole, Stevie Cook and Darren Gasperoni.
Thanks go out to the student council for all the effort that went into making this event a success and having school ready for academics right away.
Student of the week this week is Darren Gasperoni, honored for being a kind-hearted person, who is always nice to everyone around him along with being an excellent student.
Principle Ed Zander received a mug designed by student Bianca Frias from the students of Carlé High School in honor of his birthday which was on Saturday, Oct. 30. Happy Birthday, Mr. Zander!
