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.

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...

Anime Club

Carlynton's Anime Club is held in the shop every Tuesday after school. The club has fifteen members, but there are usually comfortably small groups from 4-7 people that attend weekly.  Anime Club leaders would love to welcome new members!  Anime Club votes on a different show to watch each meeting. Members also enjoy practicing their drawing skills during meetings, and sometimes the club even holds drawing contests. The club leaders hope to bring some positive changes to the Anime Club during the winter and spring months of this school year. They intend to watch a greater variety of shows and genres, and have also considered creating a roster of shows to watch over the course of the year.  If you are interested in joining Anime Club , simply show up to the shop on Tuesdays after school and introduce yourself to any of the Club members.  They are often found congregating around the video game console playing Super Smash Brothers.
