Students in Mrs. McCarty’s third and fifth period Spanish classes competed to build the tallest Tower of Tarragona. The students learned about the tradition of building human towers, or castells, in the city of Catalonia, Spain. The third period class had a tie between two groups with 24 levels. The tie breaker was the challenge of saying in Spanish what the castells were, where they are from, and to say how many levels their tower had. Both groups were able to do the challenge, so Mrs. McCarty declared a tie. The fifth period class winner built a tower with 21 levels. (Photos courtesy of Mrs. McCarty.)

Several Carroll County Middle School students were recognized for perfect attendance with the help of some community partners. The students were treated to a donated lunch from Mi Viejo, each received a gift certified for a free Snappy Tomato pizza and the American Legion donated a 50-inch TV and 11-inch tablet. Jordan Polley won the TV, while Lillian Humphrey won the tablet. The students honored include: Ava Boyer, Cesar Castillo-Hernandez, Lillian Humphrey, Jordan Polley, Catherine Duncan, Thomas Howard, Thomas Starkweather, Trenton Hoover, Harley Pirtle, Aurora Reynoso Ramirez, Jayden Price and Abigail Laib. Thank you to our community partners for recognizing this student achievement! (Photos courtesy of Sheila Reynolds.)
