A new student council event called the Carlé 500 will be held on Friday, March 17, during this event students will be designing cardboard cars for a race to be held on Friday, March 24.

During this race students will wear the cardboard cars which they designed and race around the school. After making one lap around the school the “driver” will have to stop and pull over at his “pit crews station” and be given water for fuel, a towel to clean their “windshield,” and check that their tires or shoes are ok to continue.

A new attendance/punctuality reward system has been established at Carlé by Principal Koehler and the staff. In this new reward each student that arrives on time will have his or her name put into a mug and drawn at random.

The winner will receive a hot beverage of their choice. All of the winner’s names will be kept track of and at the end of the month are eligible for a larger prize.

A fundraiser for Carlé was held on Monday, March 13, at Fire Stone Pizza. During this fundraiser, Fire Stone customers had access to an all-you-can-eat pizza buffet after paying a flat fee of $8; any of the money raised during this fundraiser went to Carlé for student council activities and events.

To show our thanks for Fire Stone’s kindness, Taylor Churchill from our Student Body Enterprise program designed a plaque to give to them. Thank you, Carl and Tamara Wienke, all the students at Carlé appreciate it.

Pat Knowles, who substitutes for the Carlé staff a lot, brought a treat for the students to have at break. Pat is a wonderful teacher and human. Thank you, Pat, we at Carlé appreciate all you have done for us and we hope to see you in the future.
