CLUBS and Other PROGRAMS

Newspaper Club

The Carlos Gilbert student newspaper, The Black and Gold is seeking two new parent volunteers. The Black and Gold has typically been open to upper grade students and meets once a week on Fridays. We seek to publish 4-6 papers per year, with stories conceived, reported and written by students. 

Two of our parent volunteers moved on with their sixth graders last year so we will need help to make it work this year. Parents with some experience writing, editing or in news would be particularly helpful, but anyone who is excited about the club is welcome. We will need at least one parent to have and know how to use design software for laying out the paper.  

Contact Noah Long (noahlargo@gmail.com) if you are interested.

Carlos Gilbert Merch

We have some great Carlos Gilbert gear! Get your stuff at the online shop :)

The one-of-a-kind tie-die t-shirts were hand-dyed by a couple of awesome PTK volunteers and are available in a nice range of sizes.

There are terrific baseball caps and some wild color-changing cups. Chilly lately? Pick up a nice Blackhawks zipper sweatshirt!

The Carlos Gilbert PTK is a dedicated group of Parents, Teachers, and Kids working to raise money, support the classrooms, and encourage our kids. We help keep our Blackhawk spirits soaring high!

Join us at the next meeting:

August 30, 2023, at 8:15am in the teachers' lounge. Can't attend in person? Connect with us on Zoom.
