VISITING VIP
Cast and crew of Carroll
Theatre Department's
The Phantom of the Opera
were given great
encouragement from a very
qualified source recently
when Bert Fink, Senior Vice
President of Communications
and Marketing with R&H
Theatricals, a division of
the Rodgers and Hammerstein
organization in New York,
dropped in on one of their
rehearsals and stayed behind
to chat with students
afterwards.
Mr. Fink was involved with
the original London West-End
production from 1986, then
Broadway's longest-running
production and national
tours of the show. He
shared some great Phantom
stories, for example when
the original production was
staged at The Majestic
Theatre in London, the back
walls of the theatre had to
be expanded almost into the
theatre behind to
accommodate the scale of the
production. The assembled
student cast was also able
to get some first hand
advice from Mr. Fink, who
advised that if they feel
and believe in their
characters, the audience
will believe it too.
Carroll Theatre obviously
made a great impression on
this VIP visitor. He
mentioned that the cast was
very impressive and the
community fortunate to have
the Carroll Theatre
directors and the
department's resources to
take on the amateur staging
of The Phantom of the
Opera. As a direct result
of Mr. Fink's visit, R&H
Theatricals Vice President,
Charlie Scatamacchia now
plans to attend one of the
performances in December.
Directors Stacie and Roald
Martinsen will open The
Phantom of the Opera at
Carroll Senior High School
auditorium on November 30th
at 7.30pm, with five more
shows to follow on December
1st, 2nd (2.30pm matinee),
7th, 8th and 9th (2.30pm
matinee). For information
on the production and to buy
tickets please go to

COMMUNITY SERVICE UPDATE
** IF you are unfamiliar with the
Community Service Program at
CHS/CSHS,
click here
for quick
overview of the program.
SENIORS:
Take time to check your hours on the
Community Service bulletin board. If
the totals are incorrect, please email
melodybazar@verizon.net.
We want your hours to be correct just
as much as you do! Your hours are
posted monthly (mid to late) on the CSHS
bulletin board. April 1st is the
CISD Success Scholar Community Service
deadline for all students. Please
check with your Guidance counselor if
you are unsure whether you qualify for
Success Scholar at graduation. 100
hours of community service is only a
part of the Success Scholar program.
Your approved yellow community service
log cards will be available to you at
the end of the year. Please contact
Melody Bazar at
melodybazar@verizon.net if you would
like to receive them. The Community
Service Board will archive files for one
year after graduation.
JUNIORS:
Community service hours are an important
part of all your upcoming college
applications. Most colleges want to see
that you have worked helping your
community. Keep up your community
service. College applications will ask
for them.
FRESHMEN and SOPHOMORES:
Remember that all hours submitted for
community service must be through a
non-profit organization. If you are not
certain whether the agency is non-profit
or not, complete the blue Pre-Approval
form which can be found in the Community
Service notebook in the Guidance Office
or click below for a partial list of
approved/disapproved organizations.
ALL STUDENTS:
Certificates are awarded to all
students with 40+ approved hours earned
from June 2007 through April 1, 2008
deadline date. Certificates will be
distributed in May. Students that
qualify are also eligible to purchase a
letterman jacket round community service
patch with bar patches underneath
denoting the year received. Order
forms will be attached to the
end-of-year certificates.
Double hours are never allowed.
If your sponsor is promising Double
Hours, we cannot accept them, as our
guidelines prohibit any double hours.
Please make sure that "one line" total
hours are detailed on a separate piece
of paper.
Not sure if your
philanthropy/organization qualifies? Click
here for a
partial list of approved/disappoved
organizations.
TRANSFER STUDENTS:
A transfer student may participate
in the Success Scholars Community
Service Program. The 100 hours
required community service hours
(along with academic requirements)
will be pro-rated based on the year
the student becomes a student in the
district as follows: sophomore year
- 75 hours required; junior year -
50 hours required; senior year - 25
hours required. If you have any
questions, please contact
your counselor for confirmation of
guidelines.

CEREAL COMPETITION!
The competition is about to begin - it's
Southlake vs. Grapevine again! Carroll High
School & Carroll Senior High School will
join together to compete against Grapevine
High School to see who can donate the
most cereal boxes as part of the
"Christmas is for Children" food drive.
The cereal boxes will be included in family
food baskets so that children have something
they enjoy, since cereal is often too
expensive for families to purchase
regularly.
What:
Remind your student to bring at least one
box of name brand, kids' cereal to
school and drop it off in the lobby or at
the cafeteria door. (It's best to send in
recognizable cereals that kids like, even if
not the most nutritious choice.)
When: Monday, November 26th -
Thursday, December 13
(Start bringing in
your cereal boxes the Monday after
Thanksgiving break, but you can start
collecting your cereal boxes at home now!)
Who:
Sponsored by CSHS and CHS Student Council
and "Christmas is for Children"
How:
Donations will be counted each week to see
who is winning the competition!
Remind your students to contribute to food
baskets
this holiday season and bring cereal to
school!!
