Here at Carlé, we have now entered the second semester or fourth grading period of the year.

With the new grading period comes many fresh new faces who have enrolled at Carlé High School.

The new students are Alex Chavez, Erik Fielden, Chris Nuzzo, Tiffani Santoni, David Truax, Paul Yanez, and Kedwin Russel-McAteer. Welcome to Carlé, we hope you really like it here!

Now to honor the students who have been here already and earned the highest level available at Carlé, gold level. During the third grading period, seventeen students earned gold level.

Those students are Kelly Alvarez, Jade Beatty, Jacob Davis, Kevin Fisher, Savanna Golden, Jeremy Hunter, Troy Lamburth, Jasmine McGee, Kobi Minard, Malinda Mitchell, DeAndre Morris, Isiah Piazza, Daniel Salvante, Chealsea Scholesser, Chenoa Schmidt, Blake Von Rekowski and Amaree Whiley.

Carlé is a very interesting school to be at because every year some students graduate, leaving jobs around the school that the younger students can take on.

A great example is Kobi Minard, who helps Alan every day with setting up and filming the morning bulletin, which is a very important job at Carle. Kobi is getting very close to graduation, so new students to run the bulletin need to be recruited.

The Carlé Chronicle will need a new writer soon since I also am close to graduation. If anyone is interested in writing the Chronicle, talk to Alan about it. Until I graduate I will be helping Barbara in the office fifth period daily so she can have a much-needed break. This job will soon be up for grabs as well.

Chris Stutz has become Carlé’s new movie maker. He films around campus and makes mini movies we play on the bulletin.

On the ninth, Jacob Davis presented his portfolio, congratulations on your great presentation and we wish you the best.

Hazmat classes taught by science teacher and certified hazmat trainer Angie Siegel started on the ninth and the class will last until the twenty-first. The students in hazmat will be meeting in the library all day every day and will return to their regular classes after the state certification.

From the eighth to the tenth teacher Alan Siegel was in Sacramento. Siegel was selected by State Superintendent Tom Torlakson to be a member of the state Distinguished Schools selection committee.

It is now time for another design contest at Carlé, and that contest will be the mouse pad contest! Students can make a design in PhotoShop to print on either a small mouse pad or a large one. Start thinking about what you want to design because the deadline to print the mouse pads will be one week after progress reports.

Now that we are halfway through the year here at Carlé High School, the Carlé Chronicle wants to remind students to check their progress to their goals.

Make sure you are halfway to where you want to be by the end of this year. If you are not halfway, maybe take on some extra credit work!

Remember, anything is possible with hard work and determination!
