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 and 0-30 in the second quarter; however, in the third quarter the Carlynton Cougars got their first touchdown, making the score 6-30 at the end of the third quarter.

Homecoming Dance

CIS Chemistry Field Trip

On December 11, the 11th grade CIS (College In High School) Chemistry class went to Robert Morris University to survey the campus and conduct experiments in the Science Wing. During the experiment, students mixed various liquids to determine their concentrations and potency, as well as how the liquids reflect blue light. As they measured the liquids, the students learned how to use different measurement tools, such as a “ repeater pipette”. The repeater pipette allows one to measure a certain amount of liquid by turning the dial to the desired number, then pressing the button until all of the liquid is inside the repeater pipette. Afterwards, the button is pressed again to release the liquid. Since the CIS Chemistry students are currently working on their midterm in the lab, one student stated, “It was a nice change of pace to try a different experiment, since we’ve been focused on getting the results we need back at Carlynton.” I hope that t...
