This week at Carlé we’d like to begin by thanking DJ’s Pizza Place.
Over the past many years DJ’s has been a huge supporter of Carlé High School in several ways. One of the ways DJ’s has been so supportive is with our Student of the Week awards that we hand out.
Every single Student of the Week receives a certificate for a free personal pizza from this generous local business. DJ’s has been very gracious to us so we’d like to let them know how thankful we all are.
Carlé student and head designer Nura Brown is currently working on a special “thank you” plaque for DJ’s Pizza Place. We hope to get them to come on to Carlé’s morning bulletin so that we may present them with their plaque and thank them in person.
Last week at Carlé the students who achieved Gold Level from the last grading period were treated to a fun-filled trip to Scandia.
The trip itself went very well, “The students were very well-behaved and very respectful,” said teacher Dan Maes who accompanied the students as chaperon.
While at Scandia the students participated in all sorts of fun activities like go-karts, arcade games and even ate some really good food.
“We generally just had a good time,” said Maes.
Carlé is always glad to see our students not only have a fun time, but also when our students show just how great the kids here at Carlé are.
Maes would like to thank the students for being such a well-behaved bunch and for making the trip such a fun one.
Carlé hands out what we call “Sustainability Awards” for the students who maintain Gold or Silver level more than once through our six grad periods. The more times you hold or better your letter the more and better prizes are awarded.
These awards vary and come from the media room in the form of different designs for different prizes. The more times you make a level you can actually save up to get a much better prize!
Also student council is planning some very fun things for the holidays, including decorating the school and gift exchanges. Stay tuned for more information…
Lastly, we'd like to congratulate Carlé High School’s FIRST official graduate this year, Mr. Trevor Wilson. We’re all really proud of you and VERY happy for you. All of us look forward to watching you excel in life. Continue to be a fine example for us all Trevor.
Jesse Harrell is student at Carlé Continuation High School in Lower Lake, Calif.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Jenny Bowen is 13 weeks into her first semester of the Mendocino College Nursing program and readily admits that the homework and study time required to be successful in the program is enormous.
Bowen isn’t new to education. She is a graduate of Clear Lake High School who went on to complete a bachelor’s degree from Sonoma State University in kinesiology.
Her goal was to become a physical therapist but all of that changed when she experienced a personal health scare and, based on that experience, she decided to become a nurse.
When asked about the college’s nursing program, Bowen simply stated that everyone is wonderful.
“I have bonded with my 18 classmates, simply because I spend more time with them than anyone else,” she said. “The first six weeks of the program is overwhelming and your classmates become your family.”
The future looks very bright for Bowen. Her goals include completing her nursing program at Mendocino College in one and half years, working in the nursing field and eventually obtaining a master’s degree in nursing.
