Carrollton Elementary held its Leukemia & Lymphoma Society funds drive throughout October. They reached their goal of $3000 (double what was raised in the previous year). By itself, Mrs. Grilli’s class raised over $400 towards the fund drive. As a result, they were able to go to Urban Air Trampoline and then to Olive Garden. Great work, Carrollton Elementary!

Dear Blalack Parents and Guardians,
We are in the process of creating a “MakerSpace” for our Blalack BEAR Builders. The space will be in the science lab. So, what is a makerspace? In simple terms, it is an space for students to make things. It encourages their creativity and innovation. Different materials and equipment will invite students to engage in learning through experiences that provide real life connections. For example, within this makerspace our students will have the freedom to design, engineer, fabricate, create, build and collaborate. Makerspaces provide students with a place to tinker and develop something that may not have been possible to create without a space with resources. We are so excited to bring this opportunity to our students, but in order to have a space that is useful, we are in need of several items to be donated to the space.
If you are able, we would be so appreciative of any donation that you are willing to provide.
The items that we are in need of are:
If you have any items that you are willing to donate, please either email, call or drop off the items in the donation box outside the office. We appreciate all that each of you do on a daily basis to support our Blalack Bears!

The Trojans hosted their only home meet of the season last night. Our seniors were honored before the start of the wrestling, and they rose to the occasion. Senior Neriaha Wofford defeated her only opponent of the night against Melissa High School. The three senior boys all competed well and were led by Tyrese Lewis who won both of his matches versus Lovejoy and McKinney North. Chris Conway went 1 and 1 on the evening with a victory versus Lovejoy and a hard fought loss to a tough opponent from McKinney North. Rafael Leon lost both of his matches by decision, but he competed well and exhibited great pride throughout. Kendall Iwuagwu took home the only other Trojan victory on the varsity boys’ side with a victory over his opponent from Lovejoy by fall while Mackenzie Greer took home another victory for the girls with a win against her opponent from Melissa. Although the varsity Trojans lost both of their duals on the evening, they competed hard and are improving as they prepare for the district tournament in February.
The Trojans also got great efforts from several of their JV wrestlers last night. The JV squad was led by sophomore Lenyn Carvalho with two victories on the evening. Freshmen Marshall Masvikeni, Jamel Scott, and Cayden Parrott all wrestled tough throughout the night.
