SAFE GRAD
Safe Grad has been a tradition for Carson High since 1988 that promotes the idea of a drug and alcohol free celebration the night of graduation. This, in most cases, is the last chance for some graduates to get together and celebrate their accomplishment. Safe Grad is a parent and community sponsored all-night party that begins the evening after graduation at the Carson City Community Center. Once inside the Community Center, graduates will experience a variety of fun and safe activities including food, music, entertainment, games and other activities during the all-night party. After breakfast, graduates who have paid the trip fee will load onto buses and head to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo for an exciting day at the park. Seniors were to have signed up by Friday. If you missed this deadline, contact Kim Santos in the Student Finance office on Monday.

YEARBOOK NEWS
The 2015 Carneta yearbook had the opportunity to play with a historic theme about our state and our school as we celebrated Nevada’s 150th birthday. The students designed a cover that’s a wonderful montage of Nevada historic sites. The theme of the book is “Making Our Mark,” a reflection on being part of this place in history. Book orders are still being taken, although supplies are limited. All proceeds from yearbook sales benefit the publications program of CHS. The 2015 Carneta, “Making Our Mark,” is priced at $80. Contact Mrs. Patt Quinn-Davis at pquinn-davis@carson.k12.nv.us.
