This week will be the beginning of the sixth and final grade period of the school year.
To my fellow students: Despite what you may think, everything you do still matters, so with that being said try and make sure that you focus as hard as you can because even a little extra effort can go a long way. All of us are very excited and somewhat saddened by the end of the year getting so close.
STAR testing is starting next week! A nervous time it can be, it’s also a great opportunity to show what you’ve learned and hopefully do very well.
In the past Carlé has always done well with STAR testing so we all anticipate that we’ll be keeping that tradition this year. All Carlé students, please do the best you can because not only will it reflect well on your school, but also on yourself.
Prom is getting closer and closer as the days go by and a lot of us are very excited to attend. The fee for attendance will be $6 each ticket and you must preorder them from Barbara Dye, our Carlé secretary, in her office.
The theme for the prom will be a black and white ball, so bring a semi-formal appropriate outfit. Activities taking place will be the usual dancing, music and food, but also fun games hosted by some of the Carlé teachers.
The ticket designers were media students Nura Brown, Junior Garcia and Summer Gunn, so thank you to all of them for making such great tickets.
The silver level movie was this last Friday, April 26, and the following is a list of the students who were eligible to attend: Jade Beatty, Jay Brown, Lukas Carlson, Charlie Clark, Kasandra Colwell, Isaac Dominguez, Nathan Frigge, Junior Garcia, Emilio Gonzales, Ray Green, Josh Kennedy, Timothy McGuire, Kobi Minard, James Mora, Blossom Neidenbach, Camari Onwuasoeze, Dane Pearson, Roxie Purdum-White, Chenoa Schmidt, Lucas Stickel, Danielle Stennet, Sarah Terry, Lance Thurston, Steven Tracy and Rosie Wright-Trejo. Congratulations, everyone!
Special thanks goes out to teacher Alan Siegel, along with students Lance Thurston, James Mora and Lukas Carlson for setting up and running the silver level movie.
Student of the week this week was Jacob Davis. Jacob has really made the effort to become a successful student and leader here at Carlé. We are all very proud of him.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – It’s that time of the year again, the time when high school seniors look toward the colleges of their choice, and try to figure out how to pay for it.
Lake County Theatre Co. is offering a scholarship to assist in this process.
As a theater company, LCTC is most interested in students who have shown an interest in theater during their high school years.
This would include persons who have provided production assistance for performances in such areas as lighting, sound, set design, directing and producing.
Of course, those who have actually performed a role in any theater productions will be strongly considered.
The amount offered in this scholarship is $500.
The requirements for application include a 500 word essay, a copy of a full high school transcript, a resume of theatrical experience and a sealed letter of recommendation from a person familiar with the student’s dedication and talent in the field of theater.
Applications must be postmarked by May 4 and should be sent to LCTC Scholarship Committee, P.O. Box 802, Lakeport, CA 95453. Please email essay to
This is Lake County Theatre Company’s fifth year for the provision of a theater-related scholarship. LCTC looks forward to assisting another talented student to pursue their dreams.

Paige Finley presented her portfolio on Thursday, April 18.
She has been a longtime student at Carlé, but still will be graduating a year early because of all of her hard work. Paige has always excelled here at Carlé and we want to really congratulate her. We also want to let her know how much we’ve appreciated having her here.
A big welcome goes out to our newest student Paige Johnson. Even though it’s fairly close to the end of the year, we are always happy to see new students come to Carlé. Hopefully we’ll see Paige stay with us through the year to come until her graduation! Welcome to Carlé, Paige.
Just another reminder that open house will be May 9. This is a very important night for many and we would like as many people there as possible. It will be a potluck so bring some food to share and any student that attends will receive credit.
This next week will be the end of the fifth grade period. This means two things: Students have one more week to get as many things as possible turned in and finished to get better grades on their report cards.
The other thing this means is that, after the fifth grading period is over, we only have one more grading period left. Each grading period is six weeks long, so we have about seven weeks left until the school year is over. If that doesn’t kick you into overdrive, I don’t know what will.
Let’s all pull together and make these a great last few weeks of school.
Student Rosie Wright-Trejo has been a tremendous help to us at Carlé. We’ve mentioned before earlier this year that she is a big help to our secretary, Barbara Dye. Rosie has helped by filling in for her so that Barbara can get a moments rest and maybe have some lunch too. We wanted to show how grateful we are for her gracious attitude towards others and Barbara. Thank you Rosie! You’ve been a big help!
CHILY winner this week was Blossom Neidenbach. Her item of choice was a bubble wand.
Student of the Week this week was Esparanza Roberts. Esparanza came to us at Carlé this year, and ever since she has joined us she’s been a hard working, wonderful student. Congratulations Esparanza!
Senior plaques have begun! All student designers have chose graduates and have started their design process. Currently, it appears there will be around a total of 25 plaques all together, one for each graduate.
Thanks go out to new Carlé students Aaron Beecher and Michael Lanigan. Both of these students have taken over the computer building here at Carlé. They pull apart and put together computers donated to us by very generous outside sources.
After they fix them, they format them and install an open source operating system. Finally these computers are handed out to students and families in need of one of their own. Keep up the great work, guys!
