surpassed all expectations. Kof C raised $2,000 towards the purchase of
books for the library in 2001. As an added bonus, the library team will
purchase approximately $4,000 worth of books, because books go on sale for half
price close to the end of the school year.

MATH COMPETITION
2009: Carmel has a fun
competition in which the prize is a bag of candy bars and 7th and 8th graders
compete together. In the past there was only one prize and the winner was
always a big school until last year when St Gilbert won. This year they expanded
the competition to have separate prizes for large, mid-sized (St Gilbert)
and small schools. We won the mid-size school prize. So
this year's graduating class won the candy at every opportunity, something we
never did before. I am waiting for the complete results. I expect we came
close to winning other awards. Chair David Froehlich
