On Thursday, Nov. 1, there will be no school here at Carlé. So all of you going out on Halloween can have a day of rest!
 
For those students interested in early college life or starting college life, teacher Robin Shrive and Yuba counselor Pamela Bordisso are helping students to find out all of their options for going to college.

Pamela recently came to do an overview about Yuba College and talked about concurrent enrollment.

Concurrent enrollment, if you did not know, is when a high school student takes college classes while still remaining in high school.  

Concurrent enrollment is an inexpensive way of furthering your education and getting on a fast track for college.

Ms. Shrive is the person to talk to about college or concurrent enrollment. In addition, Shrive's alternative P.E. class, yoga and strength training, is open to every student during our sixth period.

Last week when this article listed the Gold Level members of the school it forgot to mention Carlé student Lance Thurston who also had made Gold level.

Student of the Week this week is Kobi Minard. Kobi is a hardworking and funny young man and we here at Carlé think very highly of his fine example of a focused and positive student.

Usually when a student receives student of the week they are given a certificate for one free pizza from DJ’s Pizza (who we truly thank and are in the process of making all sorts of thank you presents in our media classes).  

Starting this week with Kobi we will be giving out a new privilege. Along with the free pizza pass, students who receive this weekly award now also will be granted a front of the lunch line pass for an entire week. This was an idea brought over to Carlé by Dr. Burger from his last school.
 
Heads up to all Carlé students: the Carlé Interact Club is helping in a pink flamingo charity event. What this means is that the club will be going around planting flamingos in front of Rotary Club members' houses as a fun prank.

Members of Interact Club will be going late at night or early morning to plant 30 pink, plastic nightmares; "you've been 'flocked'” is the official tagline.

In order to remove them the Rotary Club members must pay $35 at a Rotary meeting. If someone were to pay $40, they’d be able to move the flamingos to another Rotary member’s house.

Carlé interact members must go out to find these homes to participate in this event. All of the proceeds go to the Safe House of Lake County.

Upcoming Interact Club events are the Christmas dinner on Dec. 8 and the seafood broil next Feb. 23.

The list of current student members: Nura Brown, Constance Hazelwood and Jesse Harrell. We expect many more students to join this club in the coming weeks.

The club is hosted by Rotary members Kineen Barzai and former Carlé principal and retired Konocti Unified Superintendent Dr. Bill MacDougall.

Interact Club is open to everybody and is a very good way to earn community service hours or extra credit, all while helping out your community. Please come and join us because it’s a lot of fun.    

Jesse Harrell is a student at Carlé Continuation High School in Lower Lake, Calif.
