Carlé is yet again getting involved with the community, helping with the Lake County Community Co-Op. Starting on Oct. 8 two students will be working from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. with JoAnn Saccato. We are really excited to be working with such a dynamic group and hope that in the future our school can help

working on the garden by the senior center in Clearlake.

Also, Carlé had a sign up for students that wanted to help serving, clearing tables and washing dishes at the Bass Tournament Dinner on Saturday, Oct. 3, at the senior center. The students that have volunteered to do community service have been earning their volunteer hours and have been a great help doing so.

Our school held a car wash at Pomo Elementary school washing the teachers' cars and others that wanted their car to be washed. We raised $181 that will be going to student government for future events. The students who helped out were Telli Clemons, Ashley Weibusch, Anthony Henson, Alyssa

England, Alex Vonrekowski, Bianca Frias, Paul Silsby and Halei Askew. Carlé would like to thank Pomo for giving our school the opportunity to raise money for our student council activities.

On Sept. 28 Paul Sisby and Will McAlister recorded Charlotte Knox a colleague of Dennis Parker at Pomo. Parker is helping Pomo implement a strategic schooling plan to raise the test scores of students. Paul and Will recorded Knox's samples of writing lessons for third and seventh grade students.

The edited recordings will be shown to the other teachers so that they can implement the same strategies.

On Oct. 7th Carli Tippett, a mother of one of last year's graduates, came to our school and cooked for the staff and student luncheon. This is a luncheon where each of Carlé's staff members picks a high-achieving student and takes them to this wonderful, home-cooked meal. The staff goes around the room anddetails the great things these students have done. Ms. Tippett works at the Corkman's Clippers Irish Pub in Clearlake as a chef and will be helping Carlé out running this luncheon about once a month.

“We are very thankful for her time and expertise in the kitchen and grateful that she is helping us out so much,” said Principal Ed Zander.

Carli Tippett might even come to Carlé more regularly to help teach a culinary class and give students

cooking tips.

We would like to congratulate Kodi Burr for getting student of the week. She has done exceptional work for our school by watching over the media room and helping to train our new crop of designers along with running the crew to help set up, serve and clean up the monthly dinner run by the Lower Lake Action Group. Keep up the great work!

Celebrating birthdays this week are Will McAlister, Josh Hays, and Marco Ochoa. We wish them a Happy Birthday.

We also have a new student this week Jakob Everhart, welcome to Carlé and we hope you enjoy our school.

Carlé Gold Level students are taking a trip to the pumpkin Patch at Wiloth Equine Therapy and Riding Center on Oct. 6. The students who worked well beyond what was expected of them will be able to pick a pumpkin, make a craft, take a hayride, ride a horse and participate in a pumpkin seed-spitting contest at the pumpkin patch. We would like to thank Wiloth for having us.
