LOWER LAKE, Calif. – As mentioned in the last article Angie Siegel, Carlé’s science teacher, instructed a hazardous materials class started on Jan. 3.

In order to pass this HAZMAT class students were required to take a state test. All the students successfully took and passed the test. These students are: Marco Aguiano, David Bajar, Caleb Burrus, Jose Carillo, Taylor Churchill, Tarah Denson, Donovan Harvey, David Jones, Erick Marks, Teagan Tompioner and Shaina Yaquinto.

I asked Siegel how everyone performed during the HAZMAT class and test and she responded, “This has been one of the best HAZMAT classes I’ve taught, every student passed on the first attempt which is very difficult, it takes hard work. They were all very focused during the entirety of the class.”

I asked students if they would recommend this class for others and they all responded of course. They said it was fun and interesting learning about ways to respond to hazardous material spills; you end up learning about all these cool chemicals and will never look at a placard carrying truck the same way again.

Bruno Sabatier of Woodland College visited Carlé On Jan. 17, 18 and 19 during our sixth period.

He gave students information about what classes are available and how to sign up. He also brought with him John Hamner, a water treatment instructor. Hamner told student they have opportunities all around the state in water and guaranteed these jobs will always be available.

Sabatier always shows Carlé love and we can’t show how grateful we are for his kindness. We already have students enrolled in college classes because Sabatier comes and assists students with signing up and guiding them on what they need.

Jonathan Killops from Lake Family Resource Center will return to Carlé with the S.H.A.R.P. program. Killops will be visiting Carlé on Jan. 29 and 30, Feb. 5 through 8.

The S.H.A.R.P. program is a course designed to help kids make safe decisions in life regarding their relationships with other people. After completion of two classes students will receive either elective credit or health credit.

Killops has visited Carlé with the S.H.A.R.P. program many times through the years, and each time students are happy with having taken it. Thank you, Mr. Killops, you’re awesome.
