Carlé Students got crafty as they participated in building a wall for Clarks Island.
“All right, take your shoes off,” shouted Massey Burke and Holly Harris.
Shoes? Upon taking their shoes off, the students – Christine McQuown, Karalena Cole, Ellie Hackler, Tucker Barnett, Leah Davidson and Aaron Mearns – noticed piles of hay, clay and a water hose.
Yes, they were going to build a wall the old-fashioned way, clumping together these mud pie-like substances using their feet.
Other students – Dylan Nevarez, Gerald Stahlman, Lucas Powell, Paul Larue, Jorge Vieira, Ellie Hackler and David Echols – later placed these “feet-made” blocks together to build up the wall.
Bosses Day was on Oct. 16. We would like to publicly honor Principal Ed Zander for all of his hard work and dedication.
DeVry University sent representative Brett Webber on the morning of Oct. 21 to explain the possibilities DeVry University has to offer.
“I thought he gave a wonderful presentation, everyone enjoyed the very hands-on experience,” said Verna Rogers.
Later that morning, the clock struck 10:21 a.m. At that very moment students were “shaken up” to hear the heart and soul of Carlé, Barbara Dye, announce it was time for an earthquake drill.
The students scrambled under the tables for a few moments practicing safety precautions. When the teachers knew it was safe, students and teachers headed to the field where their names were called aloud. Everyone did a fantastic job; securing safety for all.
Carlé High School is almost a quarter of the way through the school year. Time flies when you're having fun.

Odyssey of the Mind is up and running again this year. OEM is a creative, problem-solving competition between students of different schools. The more creative the students get, the more points they earn. The key to this game is to think outside the box while solving a problem using a creative expression such as acting and art. Students meet on Fridays during sixth period.

Last week students received progress reports after this year's first of six-week grading periods.
Carlé gives out a progress report or report card every three weeks so students have maximum feedback and the opportunity to take control of their own education.
Students and staff would like to thank district employee of the year Barbara Dye for getting all this work done so quickly and professionally.
Excited about what level – gold, silver or bronze – students received, they gathered in the quad last Wednesday as Principal Ed Zander announced each individual gold level achiever.
He called out the names of Leticia Bowman, Justin Boyce, Matt Brown, Jeremy Burton, Karalena Cole, Stevie Cook, Lisa Davis, David Echols, Nia Edmonds, Rebecca Englander, Levi Floyd, Nick Ford, Bianca Frias, Ellie Hackler, Brandon Haggard, Daniel Hernandez, Andrew Johnson, Heidi Kratz, Justin Lindsey, Gary Martin, Jefrey Martin, Christine McQuown, Aaron Mearns, Dylan Nevarez, Nate Oberdorf, Lucas Powell, Ashleigh Short, Richard Skinner, Robby Smith, Gerald Stahlman, Erika
Streckfuss, Emily Thompson, Stephanie Trout, Jonathan Truax, Jorge Vieira and Dylan Ward our principal handed each one a gold level card while applauding them for their hard work.
Steve Hammond coached this year's fleet ball team: Vincent Adams, Robert Barrios, Jeremy Burton, Darren Gasperoni, Joseph Griffith, Josh Guerrero, Brandon Haggard, Jason Hammond, Tyler Lawson, Dylan Nevarez, Marco Ochoa, Lucas Powell, Raylon Ray, Richard Skinner, Robby Smith, LJ Stewart and Mathew Vaughn and was astonished by what he saw.
In the game between both Carlé teams, Student Dylan Nevarez showed what a true sportsman he was when his team scored, during a time his team was losing.
When he saw that his team did not deserve the points he went up to the referee and told him that they had already used their direct run; therefore the touchdown shouldn't count. His fair play and not wishing to take advantage of the rules cost his team a touchdown as the play was replayed. This is something I have rarely seen in a competitive athletic team sport.
Fortunately, in the end, Dylan's team won the game by one point.
Congratulations go out to Dylan for his sportsmanship, and for his team for winning. I would also like to thank everyone for their fair play and hard work.

On Oct. 9's community service Lake County Land Trust dinner was a crew of five (David Echols, Leticia Bowman, Lisa Davis, Paul Larue, and Katie Keys) that worked incredibly hard.

On Saturday, Oct. 16, paintball was held. Thanks go out to Principal Ed Zander and Michael and Renee Skidmore for organizing the event and allowing the students to use their equipment. Students had a great time exchanging colorful paint.
