Harvest Fest was great fun at Carlé this year! On Halloween we spent the entire day playing games and doing fun activities for our Harvest Fest celebration. Our student government worked hard to organize creative activities for everyone to do, and all of their hard work paid off!

For Harvest Fest we had a massive competition between all of the advisory classes of our school. The teachers that led their advisory classes were Dan Maes, Angie Siegel, Alan Siegel, Verna Rogers and Steve Hammond.

Students from each advisory competed to get more points for their class by making masks for their teachers, decorating their classroom doors and competing in group games such as our Clue game.

The overall winner of the Harvest Fest competition was Angie’s class! The winning students of Angie’s class were Sam Ayala, Jaime Banducci, Wesley Besgrove, Kelly Campo, Daniel Davey, Tailore Delange, Justin Duncan, Mia Dupard, Kimberly Fuller, Michelle Hayes, Eric Hernandez, Janiel Huber-Benefiel, Mike Jefferson, Amy Jones, Bryan Lane, Steven Negrete and Jah-Brela Parker.

There were other smaller competitions, as well, that students competed in. The winner of the pumpkin carving contest was Steven Negrete, and the winner of the face-painting contest was Jason Andrews. The winner of our game of musical chairs was Kevin Almond.

The winner of the best costume of Carlé was Atlee Erickson, who came as a coin-operated boy. The second- and third-best costumes were worn by Yvette Kinyon, and Sina Radley as a fairy.

Also, We now have the winners of our Ping Pong tournament and they are Lavonne Pattee and Bill MacDougal of the women’s and men’s divisions, respectively.

Hope you had a happy Halloween everyone, and thanks for reading!

LOWER LAKE – The Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) at Lower Lake High School, formed last year, is busy recruiting new members, sponsoring the “Reflections” art contest at the high school, and promoting the eScrip program to raise valuable funding for schools in the Konocti Unified School District.

The PTSA meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m. at the Lower Lake High School teacher’s room. Parents, teachers, and students involved with LLHS are urged to become members and to become active in the PTSA.

The PTSA plans to fund scholarships to PTSA student members, help fund sober grad night, help fund field trips and other programs, contribute to site improvements, and contribute to honor roll incentives.

Right now, the group is promoting the eScrip program to raise money for Lower Lake High School, as well as other schools that are registered with the program in the Konocti District.

eScrip is a hassle free way to raise funds through everyday purchases made at eScrip merchants. You don’t have to save receipts, or anything, just register your Safeway card, credit cards, (including Macy’s and Eddie Bauer) or debit cards on line with the eScrip program and a percentage of each purchase you make will be deposited directly into the account of the school you choose.

It is simple to register, simply go to www.eScrip.com, go to “sign-up” and designate our group (LLHS PTSA) to receive contributions. The LLHS PTSA group number is 6530904. Schools all over the country are raising thousands of dollars through eScrip.

If you would like more information about the program, contact Roberta Lyons at (707) 994-2024 – she can help you register, or register for you.

The PTSA is also promoting the 2007/2008 “Reflections” art contest at Lower Lake High School. The theme for this year is “I Can Make A Difference by ...” Categories for participation include: Musical Composition, Dance Choreography, Film/Video Production, Literature, Visual Arts, and Photography. Students at LLHS are being asked to participate.

Winners will be forwarded to the State PTA and may even move on to the National Award category. Participates are asked to create an original piece of artwork in one of the six categories they chose.

If you would like to get involved with the PTSA at Lower Lake High School, contact Roberta Lyons at 707-994-2024.

Happy Halloween! Everyone at Carlé is excited about this year's Harvest Fest which will take place on Oct. 31.

We have been holding our annual Ping-Pong Tournament! Many students and staff are competing and we will reveal the champions next week.

On Saturday, Oct. 19, Carlé students volunteered to work for Children's Museum of Arts and Sciences (CMAS). There were over 100 kids at CMAS, doing activities that taught them about biology, astronomy, music, and history. Some of the people who volunteered to attend and help were John Wellman and his wife Bee Wellman, who taught about ancient Native American crafts; Konocti School

Board members Anita Gordon and Carolynn Jarrett; Don Coffin and Tom Dixon, who played music with the kids; and many other volunteers, including our principal Bill MacDougal.

“It was wonderful seeing our community putting on such a beautiful learning experience for our children,” said MacDougal.

All of the kids there expressed that they were having fun, and were genuinely interested in all that was being taught there. CMAS was proof that learning doesn't have to be a boring experience. It was also a great example of our community's commitment to our children¹s welfare. As said by Bill MacDougal,

“You can tell the health of a community by how they care and provide for their children.”

Carlé students also were able to do community service by participating in the Redbud Disaster Drill on Oct. 25. By doing this service, students were able to be a part of disaster preparedness training by acting as an injured person needing assistance.

On the 18th of October, awards for perfect attendance were given out. The students with perfect attendance for the first grading period were Matthew Tipton, Atlee Erickson, Steven Hunt, Marquice Lamar, Jah-Brela Parker, Sina Radley, Andrew Smith and Kelly Trask. On Oct. 26, Carlé student Yvette Kinyon gave her portfolio to celebrate her completion of kindergarten through 12th grade.

Last week's student of the week was Marquice Lamar for his hard work, academically and musically, as a new student here at Carlé. This week's student of the week is Wes Besgrove for his leadership in the school for the entire time he has been a student here. Wes will be leaving us shortly and heading into his future as a graduate.

We would like to welcome Gary Oaks to the family as a new member of the staff at Carlé. We now have a tutoring program here, so any student can get credit for receiving help with their homework during sixth period.

Thank you for reading and have a happy Halloween everyone!
