Leo’s club, #CARTERCARES and Junior class officers are organizing a Mercado and carnival for students as part of their good life celebration.

Junior class officer, Mariana Castillo, says that they wanted to make good life more enjoyable and more fun and open to others. 

“We decided to just put it all together for all the grades and clubs to come together and provide them with a fundraising opportunity,” Castillo said.

Secretary, Samantha Cabrera, also thinks that this event will help clubs.

“The clubs benefit from this event in ways in such that the profits earned will go back to them which will eventually help them,” Cabrera said. 

Castillo says that the clubs can sell a snack and they can have a free activity so everybody can enjoy it.

“It’s basically like this big fall festival, we took inspiration from previous events we’ve had here,” Castillo said. 

Social Chair, Valerie Segovia, says that it’s a great way for everyone in the school to bond.

“It’s also a great way to celebrate our Hispanic culture. I think it’s something that’s never been done before, so I think its really cool that we are doing it,” Segovia said. 

The Mercado and carnival will be held on Friday, November 14 during eighth and ninth period. Make sure to bring your money.
