The Carleton Chronicle
A weekly update from Carleton Middle School
Congrats
This past week several of Carleton's finest were recognized at our board meeting. First, the work of Ms. Lipe and Ms. Gjelaj and the entire ecology club has been remarkable this year. They have tackled so many neat and inspiring projects to help our Earth (and Carleton) become greener and learned about the importance of charitable giving.
Next, Ms. Lantto has supported countless students not only in the daily band setting but also provides opportunities for students to perform at Solo and Ensemble festival. This opportunity allows our students to receive crucial feedback from an adjudicator.
Lastly, Ms. Cleary has been hard at work with our art students. If you had a chance to visit the Sterling Heights Senior Center, you know the amazing arts pieces that were on display. Two of our students, Shaan and Rojina were recognized at the Board Meeting for their outstanding creations.
Bravo everyone!

Parents,
Please take a moment and read the following article about the possible effects of vaping for adolescents. Knowledge is power.

MORE BOOKS?
Ms. Jan is working in high gear as the end of the school year approaches. What is she going to do with all of these books?
Dress Code Reminders
As the weather gets warmer, please remind your son or daughter to REACH for their best and be "Resourceful" and "Accountable" for the clothes they choose to wear to school.
Below are a few things to consider as we wrap up the school year:
- Resourceful - Plan on bringing a lighter coat or sweatshirt to start the day and peel off layers as the weather warms up throughout the day.
- Often times the grass is still wet for 1st or 2nd hour gym class. Have another pair of socks and/or shoes for your gym locker to avoid stinky and wet feet all day long.
- Find alternative ways to correct any dress code violations besides calling home and interrupting your learning time. Ask a friend, visit your gym locker, or plan ahead to avoid this scenario.
Accountable - We are at the point in the school year where everyone knows the expectations and they have been clear all year long. Let's not try and "push the envelope" by having ears buds in during hall passing or having your hood up in the hallways. Be accountable for your actions.
Thank you for your support.
