LOWER LAKE, Calif. – I would first like to introduce myself, my name is Yailin Sanchez and I am the new author of the Carlé Chronicle.

I am taking over for our fabulous Nick Phipps as he graduated last week.

Talking about taking over jobs, we have some students taking over a couple things: Johnny Caldwell took over recycling from Ray Azevedo, Adrian Carpenter took over the soundboard in the library from Alfred Lewis.

I also want to give a shout out to student Shaina Yaquinto for being a huge help in the media room and for having so much dedication to our school. She sets up the bulletin every morning and keeps everything so nice and clean. In addition she is one of our top designers. Keep up the great work and thank you so much!

We have now started the fifth grading period so that means we only have two more to go. I hope that everyone is getting everything in and getting the credits that they need. Make sure your attendance is perfect, guys!

I want to congratulate Gabrielle Rozelski and Ryan Myers for receiving student of the week! Keep up the great work and strive for success.

We have an exciting contest going on right now. Teacher Alan Siegel is hosting a mug contest from now until spring break for everyone in the school.

Siegel is also holding a “kindness project” as well. Students talk with one of our student designers about someone in the school system or anyone in general that has made a difference in their life. A mug is then made for each of these wonderful people and they will be delivered by the student who nominated them.

Hope you guys liked my first article and stay tuned for next week’s announcements. I’ll be updating you on Bruno Sabatier’s visit at Carlé, prom, contests and anything else that comes up.

Yailin Sanchez is a student at Carlé Continuation High School in Lower Lake.
