On Feb. 9 a group known as Team DUI came to Carlé and shared their message. They shared their stories and tried to help educate students on the risks of drinking and driving. Carlé would like to thank this great group of people who care so much.
On Feb. 10 Carlé had its annual arm wrestling competition. Many entered the contest but only few could win.
The contest had two categories: male and female. The winners of each section got a medal made by Alan Siegel's media student Desiree Bauer.
The winners of the male category were Justin Lindsey in third place, Jonathan Warren in second, and Camari Onwuasoeze in first.
The female section winners were Rosie Wright-Trejo in second, and Tonya Smith in first.
At the recent teacher of the year awards ceremony held in Sacramento on Feb. 6 honoring this year's five newly awarded state teachers of the year Carlé's Siegel joined 2011 state teacher of the year Jennifer Kelley of Middletown at the ceremony.
Siegel had been for the fifth year in a row on the state teacher of the year selection committee.
In addition for the fifth year in a row Siegel joined 2001 state teacher of the year and yearbook award winner Jim Jordon to run all the audio and video and house lights for the ceremony. The speeches by this year's five were both powerful and inspiring.
On Feb. 18 Carlé students got the opportunity to come together and play paintball. This group is always looking for new members.
Depending on the schedule they meet at Four Star Auto in Lower Lake on Saturdays, and all of the equipment is provided.
For anybody who hasn't played, paintball is a fun way to spend a weekend. Carlé would once again like to thank Michael and Renee Skidmore for all they do to make our paintball dream come true.
Since the start of the grading period many students have joined the Carlé family. These students are Nicole Brink, Brandon Cabler, Chelsea Cherney, Paige Finley, Robert Hartzo, Madeline Hernandez, Laura Houchins, Yadira Jimenez, Chantilliy Pannell, Tony Robb, Tyler Scharnagle, Ashlie Smith, Chantel Strickler, Lance Thurston, Steven Tracy, Charles Trujillo, Jacob Grove and Joseph Sarro.
That's all for now, Have a great week!

UKIAH, Calif. – Mendocino College Foundation announced it will award five new $1,000 scholarships for 2012-2013 – one for culinary arts, one for theater and music, two rewarding volunteer service and one general interest scholarship.
The deadline to apply is Thursday, March 1, before 4 p.m.
“We are very excited to see our scholarship program growing. These opportunities were made possible by donors who want to help students achieve their dreams,” said Katie Wojcieszak, executive director of the Mendocino College Foundation which oversees the scholarship program.
The Les Gregg Family Scholarship, named for one of Ukiah’s esteemed restaurateurs, will be awarded to a student in Mendocino College’s culinary arts program.
Those interested in fine arts with an emphasis in theater and music might qualify for the new John Bogner award.
An intrepid entertainer, local Realtor and former member of the College Foundation’s board of directors, Bogner leaves a lasting legacy.
A general interest scholarship named in memory of beloved College Foundation directors Harry and Joan Bistrin will also be awarded.
The new Halliday scholarships will focus on rewarding two individuals with exemplary volunteer service.
This award, named for Mendocino south coast residents Joe and Dorothy Halliday, includes an internship component that reflects the couple’s strong and long-lasting work ethic.
Their wish was that priority be given to Point Arena High School graduates attending Mendocino College.
“I encourage anyone planning to attend Mendocino College in fall 2012 to apply. Last year nearly 150 students received awards through our scholarship program,” said scholarship coordinator Lana Eberhard.
Eberhard has posted tips on writing an award winning essay and asking for letters of recommendation on the College’s website.
To apply for a scholarship visit www.mendocino.edu, then click on “students” and then “scholarships.”
