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. This served to advertise Dani's Hair Loft.

Many of the dresses modelled were donated, but seven were rented from David’s Bridal. The suits modelled came from Men’s Warehouse. Jewelry, made by Paparazzi Independent Consultant, nails from Color Street, and flowers from Bella Flora Shoppe were also shown. 

The emcees of the evening were Alaiyah Burks, Erin Fox, and Savannah Sevacko. They described the styles of the evening. After the fashion show portion, a silent auction was held where attendees could bid on the 37 dresses up for sale. There was also a clearance rack, with all dresses there going for 15 dollars. 

In addition, there was a coffee and dessert bar for attendees, as well as a Chinese Auction. After a break, the winners of the auctions were announced, and the event was over.
Anya Corrassco, one of the main coordinators for the event, reported it was a success. “We raised close to 2,000 dollars,” she said “that takes off one-fifth the cost of the venue, and will definitely help lower the price of the tickets.” Anya closed her remark by thanking everyone for their support, and for attending the event. Finally, coordinators announced that prom will be held at Bella Sera restaurant on May 20th.

The Eco-Challenge at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the percentage of environmental scientists and ecologists is steadily growing. Part of the reason could easily be the increasing number of botanical gardens around the world and the number of activities for children inside of them. Carlynton School District is lucky to have a garden less than 20 minutes from its community. Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens was constructed in 1893 as a gift to the city of Pittsburgh. Including this year, and five years prior, our local conservatory has hosted a middle school and high school event called the Eco-Challenge. This educational event teaches of the different works and wonders an environmental scientist can do to make real and positive change in the world. This year approximately 25 students in grades 6, 7, and 8 in the Gifted and Enrichment program attended the Eco Challenge at Phipps on September 12, 2019. Next to Phipps is a school-sized building powered entirely by solar power. In t...

Spanish Students of the Month

A student of the month is an individual who shows an outstanding work of determination and responsibility. The Spanish teacher, Mrs. Rusinko, has been seeking for those qualities in students over the past month. Since 2014, Carlynton Jr. Sr. High School has been hosting Spanish classes with Mrs. Rusinko. These students get to pick from a list of Spanish names and are called that when somebody needs their attention. During this class, students explore a world of unique cultures and learn about the diversity between many Spanish countries and the United States. The Spanish students of the months, Bridget (Lola) Maloy, Clara (Diego) Keller, Leah, (Celia) Zielinski, and Shelby (Gabriela) Palmer have shown a great deal of hard work and dedication throughout the month. They have put a lot of time and effort into becoming exceptional individuals. Being chosen as a student of the month is quite an honor and these student should be proud. Olivia Thompson 7t...

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. Mr. Loughren teased students on stage with an envelope holding the King and Queen winners, building suspense before announcing...
