Hello again readers, and welcome back to the Carlé Chronicle, your primary news source for all things Carlé High School.

We’re happy to be back to report the news after a two-week absence due to technical difficulties.

Carlé’s student of the week last week was Jeremy Hunter, who was honored for all his hard work during the silver level movie and Harvest Fest.

Jeremy is our resident technical expert, taking care of all things electronic, from soundboards to projectors and everything in between.  

Last week was the end of our second grading period, and as of now we are one-third of the way through our school year with four more grading periods to go.

Our gold level students this grading period were Ben Boyce, Dameon Dawson, Alyssa Garnett, Jasmine Heckard, Angel Hernandez, Jeremy Hunter, Stevie Jones, Samuel Martinez-Cachu, Robert McGraw, Samantha Miller, Chris Nuzzo, Regina Perrin-Clanton, Isaiah Piazza, Daniel Silvante and Quintessa Strahl.

Congratulations to all our gold level students for going above and beyond the high school pace.

On Friday, Oct. 31, our school held its Harvest Fest, where all our students got a break from daily activities to celebrate Halloween and the recent coming of Autumn.

Principal Matt Strahl and student Quintessa Strahl made pancakes for all our students in the morning, and at lunchtime our students were treated to delicious hamburgers.

Among the activities was the costume contest for all our students who dressed up for Halloween; the mummy wrap, where our teachers were covered from head to toe in toilet paper; a hands-free doughnut-eating contest; a game of musical chairs; door decorating contest; and karaoke in the library where everyone got a chance to shine.

Special mention from the karaoke contest goes out to Antonio “AJ” Gelardi, whose powerful singing voice was heard and applauded throughout the school.

Our costume contest saw Regina Perrin-Clanton winning First place as a zombie, Kenny Kalousek winning Second place as a lovely lady and Rene Espinosa winning Third place as the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man.

Overall, Angie Siegel’s advisory class got the most points and won the most contests, with her class winning the costume contest, the door decorations and the mummy wrap.

Her featured students were Jasmine Heckard, Riley Nielsen, Tyjonique “TyTy” Beasley, Kayla Doyle, Solaya Mota, Quintessa Strahl, and Rodrigo Suarez. Congratulations! 

They were awarded a beautiful plaque made by head designer Desteny Cypert with all their names on it. This plaque will stay in Angie’s room for all to see for many years to come.
