LAKEPORT, Calif. – Konocti Christian Academy, located on the Lake County Fairgrounds on Martin Street in Lakeport, has proudly begun its seventh year.
The school continues to offer quality Christian education for students in kindergarten through eighth grade, which includes challenging academics, high standards in character, Biblical training and a low teacher-to-student ratio.
Upcoming events for September include participation in the national “See You at the Pole” gathering on Wednesday morning, Sept. 28, as well as “Back-to-School Night” on Thursday, Sept. 29.
The school will kick off its “Renaissance of Reading" program that evening after joining together for a smoked turkey leg meal extravaganza.
This new program will be a forerunner to the school's annual “Renaissance Faire-Shakespeare in the Meadow” showcase to be held in May 2012.
The kindergarten/first grade class is full, but we still have a limited number of openings in the second through eighth grades.
If you have questions or are interested in possible enrollment, please phone the office at 707-262-1522.
The school's Web site is www.konoctichristianacademy.com.

Welcome new and returning Carlé High School students of 2011 and 2012!
This year we have new students and some new staff. First off we need to welcome Mr. To, our new principal.
While we are all going to miss Principal Ed Zander, it's time to welcome Mr. To with open arms. We also have a new counselor Sean Duarte who will be taking over for Bobby.
Before we mention all the new students joining us it's time to give a shout out to some of the students that make Carlé the wonderful place that it is!
To start we thank Dylan and Jerry for doing the recycling during sixth period. We also thank Derek for joining our school to help run the media room, even after his graduation. Derek will work in our media as community service for college.
Joining Derek in the media room will also be Austin, Frank and John handling the morning bulletin.
Doing birthday cards this year is Raina and she was recently joined by Dawn. We can't forget that we also have Darren, Levi and Ashley working on the yearbook this year!
Now last but hopefully not least we have the team that will be making the newspaper every week. This team is made up of Christina Green and Jade Fox.
Finally it is time for the list of new students. Time to give a big welcome to: Sabrina Abbott, Ashlee Ables, Kayla Adams, Arnold Anguaino, Saffron Blue, Nura Brown, Shian Brown, Alexis Casteneda, Thea Eskue, Sabrina Farnan, Forest Feriss, Jade Fox, Nathan Galindo, James Gibson, Dawn Griller,
Ashely Gravely, Jesse Green, Derek Hardin, David Hardy, Constance Hazelwood, Julie Hernandez, Antonio Hines, Shania Jones, Emily Lombardi, Jerad Moore, Austin Murphy, Camari Onwuasoeze, Blaze Pearson, Antionette Percoats, Brandon Ramirez, Corissa Schoonderwood, Alexandrea Von Rekowski and Erika Woods.
Now for reminders for all Carlé students. Last weekend we had the Blue Grass festival and one of the first opportunities to earn volunteers hours.
Carlé students don't forget to go to back to school night on Sept. 29; it will start at 6 p.m. By going to back to school night you can earn six hours of extra credit. Blue Heron also will be having their back
to school night on Sept. 29, and it starts at 5:30 p.m. We also have the highlands field trip on Sept. 23.
Portfolio time! We recently had a portfolio presentation for Jessica Johns. For all of the new students who don't know what a portfolio is, it's a slideshow that you make to show all of your progress and hard work at Carlé. Every student has to do one to graduate, and deliver it to the staff.
Carlé also is proud to announce and amazing 91 point gain on our state API and the recent testing. This score puts us up there with the leading comprehensive high schools in the county. Needless to say we are all very proud.
That is all for this article! See you next week.
Chrissy Green and Jade Fox are students at Carlé Continuation High School in Lower Lake, Calif.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Bring your child to join the Rodman Explorers for another fun youth nature program at the Rodman Preserve and Nature Education Center at 6350 Westlake Road between Lakeport and Upper Lake on Saturday, Sept. 17.
The program starts at 9 a.m. at the nature center and is free of charge to youth ages 7 to 12.
Parents are welcome to “hang out” at the center while their children enjoy an adventure with veteran children’s nature education specialist, Elaine Mansell.
The program started in June and has been a fun and successful event offered every third Saturday at the Lake County Land Trust’s Rodman Preserve. It includes explorations and games and education about the creatures all around us.
This coming program will focus on “bugs,” of all types and will include a short walk in the field to view some fascinating anthills.
Microscopes are also used in the program and Mansell will talk about bugs that are found in trees, in the ground, and in the grass.
Please reserve a space for your child by calling Mansell at 707-263-1637.
Mansell is a retired school teacher and developed and presented the Junior Ranger program at the Clear Lake State Park for many years.
The Lake County Land Trust owns and operates the Rodman Preserve, a 132-acre property that features oak woodlands and wetlands and a nature education center.
The trust is involved in other land conservation efforts in the county.
