Carl

We would like to start off this chronicle with a big thanks to everybody who helped out with the Rotarian Seafood Broil on Saturday, Feb. 28.


We would like to thank Carlé students Amy Reese, Kaitlyn Schneider, William McAllister, Paul Silsby, Tyler Lawson, Halei Askew, Gloria Rojas, Kaitlyn Sliger, Stacey Fedewa, Kelli Babb, Emily Owen and Kelly Hearn from Middletown.


“It was really nice to see Carlé students work together to help the community,” said Carlé Principal Ed Zander. “Many people attending the seafood broil commented on how great the service was provided by the Carlé students. Working with the Carlé students at events like these makes me realize how truly great our students are.”


Keep up the good work, Carlé High School.


On Friday, Feb. 27, gold levels students had a gold level trip to Lakeside Lanes. There the students went bowling, played in the arcade and enjoyed a wonderful pizza lunch. Carlé was acknowledged for their high maturity levels.


“I didn't think these were high school students because they had the maturity of college students,” said one of the business' employees.


Good job Carlé and thanks to Lakeside Lanes.


We also like to welcome even more new students to our school. We hope Tanner Green, Monica Diaz, Bradley Culver, Vincent DeLa Cruz and Michelle Larue will enjoy their new school as much as we enjoy them here.


We also would like to congratulate the student of the week, Kim Fuller. Kim has been a dedicated student who is very close to graduating. We know she will succeed out there in the “real” world. We hope you will keep up the good work and remember the Carlé way.


An important date to remember was Russell Ristici's memorial. The memorial was held on Saturday, March 7, at Lower Lake Park.


Russell Ristici had bought tables, retiled the floor and made the park a much better place for the

community. He did this without ever wanting to be acknowledged for his help.


The day after he passed away the Board of Supervisors received multiple letters from folks in this community asking the board to rename the park in Ristici's honor. The board agreed to do so and the dedication was also held March 7.


In his will, Ristici donated $300,000 to Carlé High School specifically for scholarships. Two of his old workers and Carlé alumni, David Sutton and Ben Hopper, were present at the memorial to show

their support for their old friend. Just like old times they volunteered to be on Ristici's final work crew to show their respect and honor of this wonderful man.


We would like to thank our current students Chris Clark and Marquice Lamar who helped set up and serve food at the memorial.


We thank Russell Ristici for all his wonderful help while he was with us, and for that, the Lower Lake Park is now named the Russell Ristici Memorial Park. May he always be remembered. He will forevermore be in Carlé's heart. Every year starting next year many graduating seniors will

be rewarded through Ristici's generosity.
