LOWER LAKE, Calif. – On Saturday, March 12, a “My Future, My Way” workshop was held at Woodland College.  

This workshop was a series of sessions that offered students from seventh to 12th grades the opportunity to learn more about their different desired careers such as culinary, early childhood education, water treatment, theater arts, biology, and creative writing. 

Emily Simmons, a Carlé High School student attended this workshop, and had this to say: “This workshop was extremely helpful. It was very informational financial and schooling wise. I enjoyed it a lot.”

The student of the week was Cynthia Oakley. Congratulations!

“Cynthia is a joy to be around, she is always a great help in class. She is also a very talented and a hard working designer and student,” said Alan Siegel, the teacher who nominated Cynthia.

Math teacher Suzanne O’Rourke celebrated Pi Day (3.14159265 or March 14th) by buying many pies and sharing them with her students. Thank you Suzanne for a glorious Pi Day. 

The students in Alan Siegel economics classes have been involved with a game called Economic Survival. 

In the game students have to balance their very own checkbooks. They also have to pay bills and buy food. Throughout the game daily event cards are drawn which simulate real life surprises and problems.

“The Micro-Economics game is important because it equips our student with the knowledge of balancing a check book and realizing that things that appear too good to true can be scams and result in life problems,” said teacher Alan Siegel. “We will have plaques made for the first-, second- and third-place finishers. Three media arts students will be in charge of the three plaques – Nick Begins, Cynthia Oakley and Brianna E. Legg.”

On Monday, March 14, our attendance took a big hit with the daylight saving time, springing “one hour ahead.”

“I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night. I tossed and turned for an hour after I was supposed to have be asleep. Who would have know an hour could affect me so badly,” said Ashton Legg, a junior at Carlé High School. 

“This whole ‘one hour ahead’ concept is really is affecting my schooling, I’m so tired I can’t focus.” said James Aiken, also a junior at Carlé High School.

Brianna E. Legg and Candice Safreno are students at Carlé Continuation High School in Lower Lake, Calif.
