March Madness has been a blast! Thanks to the SLT for organizing so many different spirit building events. There were theme dress-up days, hat days and an Advisory Group Tug of War Challenge. Every morning during first break all of the students attended a tug-of-war event in the gym. The final is between the Donut Destroyers and either Howe's Angels or Johnson's Jaguars.
Last week the SADD club sold sundaes at school for a fundraiser and to raise awareness for the group and its cause: stopping drinking and driving.
Badminton season is here! Juniors have practice on Mondays and Wednesdays after school while seniors have practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:00 PM.
The senior and junior drama clubs are busy preparing their productions. In April, Carlyle will be hosting the Regional Festival. This festival will be running from Thursday, April 10, till Saturday, April 12. There are currently 9 plays registered.
There is no school from Monday, March 24th till Friday, March 28th.
On the last Thursday of the month, students from the G.F. Kells High School will be out in the community for 2 hours after school (3:15-5:15). They will be volunteering their time to make our community a better, cleaner place. The next day of help is scheduled for Thursday, March 20th. If you would like some extra help, we are here for you. Please contact Miss Wiebe via email: [email protected] with your ideas for Day of Help!
With the emphasis on reading in our school, and the push to fill the shelves with new reading material, our fiction collection has grown to more than 4,000! The recent popularity of apocalyptic and "zombie" books has resulted in many new titles. New books are currently being displayed in the library. There is definitely something for every interest and level. Book requests can be brought to Mrs. Richardson.
