Homecoming Game

On the first Friday of October, our Cougars played a tough football game against the Burgettstown Blue Devils. Lead by coach Rich
Piccinini, the Cougars took a loss of 47-0. Though this news maybe
disappointing, something that might brighten your mood could be
the thought of the 2019 Homecoming King and Queen. 
Those honors go to Dallas Paolino and Maggie Reigle. Congratulations! I would also like to
congratulate the students who were selected for Homecoming court.
Congrats to Nick Cindrich, Erin Fox, Jada Lee, Makayla Linn,
Dakota Mayfield, Ainsley Pearce, Mark Phillips, and Evan Staker.  
Dallas Paolino, our homecoming king, won our team 115 yds, but
sadly no touchdowns. On the defensive side #51, Ben Ray, made 7
solo tackles. Because of these awesome plays, the Devils only had
14 points in the first quarter, 10 in the second, 16 in the third and 7 in the fourth.
To someone who doesn’t understand the sport this would be a very
disappointing loss; football is a back and forth sport, but those of
us who have been watching for the whole fall season know that the
Cougars can and will make a comeback. Spectator Quinland
Delrosario says, “Our team has success within them. They can win,
and will, because they just have that fighting spirit.  Practice makes
success and with a little more practice they will be able to destroy
any team that comes their way. I’m proud to march for our Cougars and I can’t wait for our next
game.  Let’s show them what we’re made of!” So cheer them on for their next game at Brentwood!

Fashion Bash

Junior Martial Delrosario styles a short, black dress at Carlynton’s second annual Fashion Bash.  On the 29th of February, Carlynton held its second annual Fashion Bash. The Fashion Bash had dual purposes- to raise funds for Prom, and to showcase various styles one might choose to  wear to prom. It was held from seven to nine in the Shop. The main event was the fashion show, where for a total of  about 30 minutes 44 dresses and nine suits were modelled . In addition, some girls modelled hair styles with more casual dresses.

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...

Bocce Tournament

Last week, Carlynton hosted a Bocce Tournament between themselves and Baldwin High School. The teams were made up of special education students, as well as additional high school students from their respective schools. For those who don’t know, bocce is an Italian version of bowling, with long, thin courts. The game begins by rolling a small ball, known as a polina , down the court.  Then teams take turns rolling larger balls, trying to be the closest to polina . At the end of a round, the team who rolls the larger balls closest to the polina gains a point of points. The match happened in the gym here at Carlynton during school hours, and students were visibly excited. It made for an exciting but friendly competition. Mrs. Chenette also brought the girls ensemble to sing the national anthem as the opening for the event. I spoke with James Lukaszewicz during the event, and he thought it was a great experience. He got involved because he enjoys working with students fr...
