And thats the way they all became the Carmel Bunch

When people say that Carmel is like a family, they normally don’t mean it literally. But in reality, Carmel is a real family: aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas, cousins. Most students know of the husbands and wives who both teach at Carmel, but few actually realize how many teachers are connected to one another. So next time you call your teacher “Mom” on accident, I hope you realize that it’s actually “Aunt” or “Uncle.”Geez. Have some respect for your family members.
