This past Saturday, Dan Maes organized a community service project at the senior center. The fundraiser took place from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. with the help of some of Carlé's very own students. Credit will be given in the next article.

Congratulations to our Student of the Week, Sara Peters. Peters worked very hard to earn this award.  She is a new student this year at Carlé. Peters is a natural leader and role model who always tries to rise above all challenges. We are all very proud of her.

We’d like to give a very special welcome to Konocti Unified School District’s new superintendent, Donna Becnell. Student Nura Brown made a beautiful plaque welcoming the new superintendent and it will be awarded to her on her next visit to our site.

Our super secretary Barbara Dye works very, very hard for us here at Carlé and sometimes she seems superhuman for how much work she puts in.

However, like everyone else she needs a break sometimes. So with that in mind we here at Carlé would like to give a shout out to student Rosie Trejo, who gives Barbara the only time she gets all day to have a short lunch. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication, Rosie.

The end of the first grading period has arrived. Friday, Oct. 5, will mark this point and means we are already one-sixth of the way through the school year.

Unfortunately our Back to School night had to be canceled because of the power outage this last Thursday. We all here at Carlé are trying to reschedule and will let you know when it is calendered.

Lastly, the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery – or ASVAB – test was administered last Thursday to students at Carlé who signed up to take this test. Not only is this a great military test but it is also a great test for a student’s future.

The following are all of the students who took the test: Malia Askew, Forrest Ferris, Junior Garcia, Summer Gunn, Keanon Jardstrom, James Mora, Mayra Pantoja, Cody Perdock, Johnny Roofener, Lance Thurston and Levy Venuto.
