Red Ribbon Week tradition
A long-standing tradition at Carrollton Junior High School during Red Ribbon Week is to use sidewalk chalk to create anti-drug messages in front of the school.
Students collaborated in class to design their messages before drawing them out. With the lack of rain and none in the foreseeable future, these meaningful works of art should last a while! See many more photos documenting this event on the
CJHS Facebook page. And be sure to "Like" it!

Fairy tales live happily ever after at CES
Every year, CES second graders participate in a fairy tale ball and parade held at the end of October. The event ends the language arts curriculum's unit on fairy tales and coincides with traditional fall festival celebrations. Before the ball, students learn simple dances in P.E. so they can be prepared to step it up. After the students demonstrated their dancing prowess, parents joined in as Power Up for 30 music concluded the dancing fun. See more photos from the festivities on Facebook.

A touching 'bucket list' surprise
Last Friday night was a special one at Grisham Stadium. Mrs. Mildred Maddox, wife of the late legendary coach Hugh Maddox, came to cross off one of her "bucket list" items - to return to Grisham Stadium-Maddox Track to again enjoy the band, the cheerleaders - and, of course - the Mighty Trojans. One of the gifts presented to Mrs. Maddox during halftime recognition was a Steve Penley print of the three iconic Trojan coaches with her husband, Coach Maddox, figuring prominently at the right. CHS Athletic Director Stacy Lawler, left, watches her reaction. Mrs. Maddox's son, Dr. Gil Maddox, center, served as her escort. Another treat for her that evening was an impromptu reunion with Coach Charlie Grisham's children, on hand to present a generous donation to the scholarship endowment honoring their father.

Q and U get married to the delight of first graders
At Carrollton Elementary, the letters Q and U got married Oct. 18 in a quaint ceremony in first grade teacher Amy Murphy's classroom. Special guests were her students and Mrs. Shannon Johnson's class. CES Principal Karen Wild and CES Assistant Principal Ryan McKinnon represented Q and U, respectively, and Montrell McClendon, another CES assistant principal, officiated the ceremony. The letters promised to always be together in every word requiring them both as long as the English language lives.
