SAVE A
LIFE...DONATE BLOOD
CSHS is hosting a blood
drive with Carter BloodCare
on Thursday, Dec.
6th from 8 am - 4 pm
at Carroll Senior High.
Please be a part of this
life-saving project! The
Carter BloodCare is the
local blood bank that
provides 96% of all blood
transfusion needs for the
Metroplex and surrounding 56
counties. It requires around
1,100 donors per day to meet
the growing blood needs of
our area and it is only made
possible through the
generosity of the donors
from our community. One out
of every three people will
need blood at some time in
their life. Blood from each
donor is separated into
three elements; red cells,
plasma and platelets,
touching and saving three
different lives.
All
donors receive:
· T-shirt
· Mini-physical
including blood pressure and
iron level check at the time
of donation and cholesterol
results following their
donation.
If you
would like to donate blood,

WISHES COME TRUE . . .
Following the great success of last
month's Dragon Classic that raised
$88,000, the Carroll High and Senior
High Schools' PTSO presented checks
totaling more than $44,000 at two
receptions this week.
On Monday, November 12th, Principal Mr. Rick
Westfall received $22,942.72 to grant
teacher wish list items at Carroll High
School, including foreign language software,
computers, printers, dictionaries, and
science needs.
Then on Wednesday, November 14th,
Dr Danny Presley, Principal of Carroll
Senior High School accepted a check for
$21,256.99 which will fund a new sound
system for the gymnasium, dance mirrors,
audio visual equipment, reference books and
protective technology furniture amongst
other things.
A further $44,000 will be given to Carroll
Athletic Booster Club later this month.
Now in its sixth year, the Dragon Classic is
a two-day auction and golf tournament which
raises funds for academic and fine arts
needs at both High School campuses and
athletic requirements for grades seven
through twelve. It has evolved into one of
the most successful fundraisers on the CISD
calendar bringing more than $330,000 of
extra funding directly to where it is most
needed.
Principal of Carroll High School, Rick
Westfall, recognizes the benefit the event
brings to his and other schools in the
district. "The Dragon Classic has played a
crucial role in funding our teachers' needs
from year to year," he says. "This impacts
positively on the educational process in our
classrooms, fine arts, and sporting arenas.
With these gifts, the Dragon Classic
continues to be an integral cog in the
fundraising machine. Thanks, Dragon
Classic."

Battle of the Boxes!
Don't forget - the CEREAL competition begins
today! And Grapevine wants revenge for last
year...they're gearing up to donate more
boxes of cereal than Carroll and we can't
let that happen! So send in with your
student at least one box of name brand kids
cereal and drop it off in the lobby or at
the cafeteria door anytime
between Monday, November 26th thru Thursday,
Dec 13th. And it's best to send in
recognizable cereals that kids like, even if
not the most nutritious choice.
All cereal donated will be
included in
'Christmas is for Children' family food
baskets so that children have something they
enjoy, since cereal is often too expensive
for families to purchase
regularly. Donations will be counted each
week to see who is winning the competition
between Carroll and Grapevine -
your donations will be greatly appreciated
by many!

Johnson

The Dragons left "smoke on the
water" over the Nov. 17th week-end
at the North Tisca Invitational
Swimming & Diving Meet in
Dallas, Texas at the Loos
Natatorium. Seventy-four of our
Varsity Dragons were eligible to
compete in the meet with 37 on the
women's team, and 41 of the men's
team scoring in this very
prestigious meet! The Southlake
Carroll Girl's Team finished 1st
overall and the Southlake Carroll
Boy's Team finished 4th.
This was the first time that Carroll
has ever won a title at the North
Tisca Invitational, and the first
time Carroll's Girl's Team has ever
defeated Plano Senior High.
So....our Girl's Team is indeed,
"Makin' History" to this point in
the season. It was a tremendous
"team" effort as the Dragons did not
crown even one individual champion,
but were excellent in the team
competition.
The Dragons had many scoring swims,
including 11 of 12 relays that made
it back for Finals and scored team
points! And every relay swam faster
in Finals than in Prelims!! Some
especially noteworthy performances
were:
Girls 200 Free Relay
L. Ginder, C.Lapp, R. Ausdenmoore,
L. Cowperthwaite 2nd 1:39.57**
Girls 400 Free Relay
C.Singley, L. Cowperthwaite,
