LAKE COUNTY – Lake Family Resource Center has announced that, thanks to the generosity of Lake County's service organizations, they are able to offer scholarships to help 30 more girls for this summer's All That Wellness Camp for girls.
Registration is open for girls 11 through 15 years of age for the camp, which takes place at Sutter Lakeside Hospital, June 25-29.
Some of the many “All That“ Camp topics will include the importance of friendship, communication skills, resilience, dealing with stress, handling grief and loss, respecting differences, making healthy choices, body image, exercise, dance and movement, Yoga, art, team building, honoring your spirit, journaling, healthy relationships and much more.
One day of the camp will include activities for moms, grandmothers, aunts, etc. and one day for dads, grandfathers, uncles … or whoever the significant adults are in the lives of the girls.
Girls 16 years of age and older will be able to earn community service hours by volunteering as camp counselors. Counselors be able to attend all of the sessions while mentoring the younger girls.
Participating with Lake Family Resource Center to bring this camp to the girls of Lake County are Sutter Lakeside Hospital Wellness Center, Lake County Office of Education, Lake County Alcohol and Other Drugs Services, Inter-Tribal Council of California, Lake County Hospice and the Lakeport Police Department.
Cost for each participant is $75, but help from service organizations is making scholarships possible for many girls. Scholarships also will be available for parents who want to attend on the parent days.
Each day will include breakfast provided by the Lake County Office of Education ROP Culinary Program, and lunch provided by Sutter Lakeside Hospital.
In addition, transportation will be available from several Lake County locations: Lake County Office of Education will provide bus transport from Upper Lake to the Oaks; Konocti Unified School District is providing bus transport from Clearlake to Hidden Valley Lake; and Lake Family Resource Center is providing van transport in Kelseyville, Finley and Lakeport.

We had a softball tournament on the Twenty-Fifth of May and we would like to congratulate Redwood Community School for winning and receiving the best sportsmanship award.
They won because of their team work, Bill said. They worked together and encouraged one another. It was so wonderful. As you all know we played a huge part in the Lower Lake Days Memorial parade.
Everyone did their part and things ran smoothly. Suzi Luke, Zen Carroll-Jordan, David Sutton, Crystal Black, Holly Bray, Justin Phillips, and Ben Hopper led a huge example in this event because they didn't need any more community service credit and worked very hard even though they were finished and graduated.
This shows the dedication that the students at Carlé are taught and take into their lives with them.
Our last week of school is over with graduation already done.
It was a very beautiful, professional ceremony. All of Carlé High School would like to Congratulate the graduating class of two thousand and seven: Laura Bal, Crystal Black, Holly Bray, Kirsten Cantu, Kayla Carroll, Ben Cheek, Bryan Dobrowski, Brianna Dorner, Kristina Edwards, Melanie Ferreira, Skyler Freeman, Ashley Gaddy, Jessica Gillam, Cecile Girk, Brandi Green, Pat Hand, Amber Hatchell, Cassie Jones, Alex Kuiper, Brittany Lia, Susie Luke, Robert Ornelas, Christina Orr, Cy Passley, Kurtis Pecchenino, Justin Phillips, Zanetta Phillips, Sam Rangel, Tiffany Robinson, Daniel Saldana, Jennifer Saldana, Elise Sarao, Iris Smith, Jennifer Valdez, Shelley Wilson, Dar Wilson-Fox, and Alicia Wolkenhauer.
Congratulation guys! You¹ve earned this! We know your future will be bright. This will be the last Carlé Chronicle for the year and I just want to say, as the student voice of Carlé, that the teachers here are fully dedicated to their work. I have never seen teachers care for their students so much. To them it's not work its part of their life. They treat everyone equal and love everyone as if we¹re their own.
The environment and example that they set are beautiful. They really care.
Thank you for reading! Until next year!

LAKE COUNTY – More than 40 teachers participated in the “Geology of Lake County” field trip on May 5.
Stops during the field trip included the George Hoberg Visitor Center Overlook; Blue Lakes and the Cow Mountain Landslide; Little Borax Lake at the Buckingham Golf & Country Club; and the Konocti Bay fault zone on Fairway Drive.
Teachers learned information, including that the formation of the Clear Lake basin is one of the oldest in North America; and that over Clear Lake’s lifetime its waters have drained to Sacramento River and the Russian River.
The field trip was lead by Dean Enderlin, who has more than 20 years of experience in the study of Lake County geology and worked at the McLaughlin mine in the Geology Department and Environmental Department.
This field trip is part of the learning activities through Kelseyville’s Exemplary (LAKE) Science Collaborative program, a grant of over $500,000 acquired by the Kelseyville Unified School District in cooperation with the Lake County Office of Education. The program promotes science education in elementary schools in Lake County.
Lake County Superintendent of Schools Dave Geck is enthusiastic about the opportunities for science education in Lake County. “This grant provides us with a great opportunity to help teachers gain the knowledge they need to help their science programs make use of the wonderful natural resources we have here in Lake County,” Geck said.
The goal of this program is to increase the academic achievement in science of students in grades fourth through sixth. It seeks to enhance the content knowledge and teaching skills of classroom teachers in Lake County through professional learning activities that focus on Lake County’s environment.
The program will provide 80 hours of “intensive” training, which is intended to improve the science content knowledge and teaching skills of participating teachers; and 24 hours of classroom “followup” to allow participating teachers to infuse the knowledge and skills gained during the intensive training directly into the classroom to benefit students.
The followup sessions will allow teachers to work in grade-level groups to use a type of lesson study called the Teaching Learning Collaborative (TLC) process to design, teach and rewrite a science lesson.
Teachers who attended the field trip will participate in a science summer institute July 30 through Aug. 3 at the McLaughlin Reserve.
For more information, contact Program Director Olga Clymire at the Lake County Office of Education 263-7249.
