Carlé's key chain prom fundraiser party was held last Friday, April 1, celebrating Angie's advisory along with the top sales people who were Ray Raylon, Desiree Bauer, Karalena Cole, Stevie Cook, Heidi Kratz, Raina Golden, Jorge Vieira and Jonathan Warren.

They were rewarded with some pizza, soda and a good time for all of their hard work for a “timeless” prom.

Paintball also was held last Friday and was a blast! We would like to thank Lucas Powell and Jorge Vieira for leading and cleaning up paintball, and also thank Michael and Starr Skidmore for providing this opportunity. This brings students together, while teaching them teamwork.

April 1 also was the halfway point grade checks of this the fifth grading period. Students have only one and a half grading periods left to get all the credits they need for this year.

Spring-bling is this week on Friday, April 8. Students are stoked to celebrate the festivities that will take place. “Spring-bling” is a “holiday style” celebration bringing everyone together for some activities (additional information in next week's article).

Two more senior portfolio celebrations were held on Thursday, March 31. Brandon Haggard and Tyler Sterling were able to show off their very own styles in two great presentations. Congratulations, graduating seniors!

The “Every Student Can Succeed” dinner took place on March 31. Carlé student Nia Edmunds, who is a perfect example of someone who has been through a lot but works as hard as she can to succeed in life, was feted at the dinner.

“The entire staff at Carlé unanimously chose Nia Edmunds because of the amazing manner in which she has overcome unbelievable obstacles in her life,” said Principal Ed Zander. “We believe that she truly exemplifies the spirit of the 'Every Student Succeeds' award. She has overcome many obstacles in her life and has never lost sight of her future goals. Whatever Nia does she will be great at because she has never let her trials and tribulations slow her down. Nia exemplifies the word resilience. We are all so proud of her accomplishments.”

Karalena Cole is a student at Carlé Continuation High School in Lower Lake, Calif.
