Focus on a New Student


By Zoe Gold
There are two new Jr. Highers this year at Project Learn School (PLS), one girl, one boy. Have you met the one named Carmen yet?  She likes to dance, and go on vacations with her family!
    Carmen Clarke is fourteen years old and she is in the second year in the Jr. High, but her first year at PLS. Carmen came to PLS from The Montessori School on Dresher Road in Ft. Washington.  She says she likes PLS better because you can be more independent.  Her favorite subject so far is art.  She says she likes how in art you can be who you want, and that it’s fun to work with the different materials, like clay or papier mache.  She also likes how “PLS is fun and the students are nice.”  Carmen found out about PLS by driving by it and noticing that it looked interesting.  She was coming back from an interview with another school.
    Carmen has a sister named Jennifer, who is 23, a brother, Christopher who is 21, and Carlton Jr. who is 20.  Carmen’s parent’s are Carmen Clarke, a translator for Spanish, and Carlton Clarke, an architect.  Currently, Carmen has no pets; she used to have a German Shepherd, a bird, and a hamster, but they all died.
    Carmen’s favorite activity to do with her family is to go on vacations. Carmen’s mother was born in El Salvador and Carmen’s grandparents, her aunt’s, and uncles all still live in there. She really likes when her family goes on vacation there to visit.
