Carlynton Middle School Football

On September 19th, the Carlynton Cougars played Keystone Oaks’ Golden Eagles.

This game was one of the early games in the season. The score in the first quarter was 0-14

Homecoming Dance

Homecoming is something many people look forward to during their high school years. For the Sophomores, it's one of the first traditional dances they’re invited to. For Juniors, it's a celebration of growing up, a right of passage. And for Seniors, it's one of the last big dances they attend before graduation, and a chance to run for Homecoming King or Queen. Homecoming court always creates a stir among students, be it underclassmen wondering which running seniors will win titles, or hopeful voters eager to see if their favorite candidate will be crowned King or Queen. This year, however, Homecoming elections sparked a very different conversation among students. Initially scheduled for Friday's pep rally, the heavily anticipated announcements of King and Queen were postponed until the Homecoming football game at the last minute.

Elective Highlight: Peer-to-Peer Creative Expression

Last semester, I took Peer-to-Peer Creative Expression. It was an art class with Mrs. Vayanos , where older students worked with peers from the Mr. Zebrasky ’s special education class to express themselves creatively and build artistic skills. The class pulled a variety of mediums for the projects, and weeks were “themed.” For instance, one week was themed with leaves, and for a project we went outside and collected leaves for leaf rubbings. We also cut large leaves out of watercolor paper and used watercolors to paint them. Occasionally, the class would set up scavenger hunts around the school, so that week we went around and collected paper leaves. At the end, we went downstairs to Mr. Z’s showcase and pinned the leaves to a paper tree. As 3-dimensional projects were popular, we also borrowed projects from different classes. We spent a few weeks using clay to make the themed mugs from the Creativity and Innovation curriculum, which sparked a...
