It is week three of the third grading period here at Carlé!

Progress reports should be coming out soon to give students an idea of how close they are to graduating, and it will give them an idea of if they are working at a good pace.

Keep in mind that the holidays are coming up soon, which means time off of school. Here at the Carlé Chronicle, we wish you an enjoyable break.

Student of the week last week was Alyssa Peterson, who got a free item from the business, a free small pizza from DJ’s Pizza in Lower Lake, and a front of the lunch line pass. Congratulations!

Recently a plaque was given to Starr and Mike Skidmore, who run the paintball games for the students in the paintball club.

Lance Thurston designed and made the plaque for them. It was made to thank them for all they are doing for the students, including giving the students a safe and active thing to do on the weekend.

Right now there are multiple things available for students at Carlé, including ornaments, bookmarks and stockings that all can be designed to their liking. It is another way that Carlé likes to show their kindness and holiday spirit.

Designers, remember to make your stockings, ornaments, and bookmarks before the deadline which is when we leave for winter break.

Sustainability awards were also given out recently, and in case you don’t know what those are, I will explain.

Here at Carlé, students can earn a level; whether it silver or gold, and if they earn one of these levels for more than one grading period, they earn a sustainability award.

Sustainability awards include a fancy award that looks great in portfolio presentations, and a slip of paper that entitles the student to an item from the business.

The more consecutive grading periods a student holds a level, the more fancy the prize. It is a very fun way of rewarding the students for doing good work, and keeping it up for extended periods of time.

As the third grading period flies by, the Carlé Chronicle hopes that all of the students have made goals and are sticking to them.

Keep graduation as a vivid picture in your minds to work towards! Anything is possible with hard work and dedication.
