Lower Lake – We appreciate our teachers and all the hard work they do so we gave each of our staff a special little gift on Teacher appreciation day.  Teachers love apples…any kind of apple actually.

Even marble apples. 

We awarded our staff with marble apples of their favorite color.  These apples will forever remind them of their effort they have put into this school and the students that they have guided.

Every year our students led by Verna Rogers save money to go to the Ashland Shakespeare festival. The students who raised the money were Crystal Black, Brianna Dorner, Amber Hatchel, Amy Jones, Christina Orr, Cy Passley, Lavonne Pattee, Kurtis Pecchenino, Zanetta Phillips, Deborah Powell, Andrew Smith, and Jennifer Valdez. 

They will be seeing three plays: Tracy’s Tiger, As You Like It, and Rabbit Hole.  This is a great educational, fun experience for them. The California Conservation Corporation came to speak to us about future jobs on May Eighth.  The  “C.C.C” is a program that supports forestry and forestry related careers that has been around since the Great Depression On Memorial Day we will be honoring veterans by hanging flags on the Avenue of Flags at the Lower Lake Cemetery.

We would like to thank Joel and Flora Moore for all their support and coordination of  the Avenue of the Flags event.  All are invited to honor veterans. Show up at the building in the center of the cemetery  at 6;45 AM we will launch from there. The day before, Sunday May twenty seventh to celebrate Memorial Day we will play a huge role in the historic Lower Lake Parade and BBQ. 

We  will be cleaning up the grounds, busing tables, and setting up(and taking down) all the tents.  Verna’s father will be supplying two cars that the grand marshals will ride in. Last year he won first place in the car part of the parade.  Our principal Bill MacDougal will be announcing the parade, we will do the poop patrol and clean the street before we head down to the BBQ. 

At the BBQ we will handle many chores and our teacher Alan’s band Lefty which includes Dan Maes and Bill Konrad of Oak Hill will play from 12 noon to 4 pm at the band shell there. Prom will be on May Nineteenth and anyone who ever went to Carlé is welcome.  Tickets are ten dollars for a couple and seven dollars an individual.  It will start at eight and end at twelve. 

Thank you for reading the Carlé Chronicle!

Lower Lake – It’s May and we're preparing to graduate on the Thirtieth.

 

We are doing our S.T.A.R. testing from April Thirtieth to May Fifth. S.T.A.R testing is a test that helps the state sees what we have learned from our teachers.

 

Every student tries their best to ensure the Carlé staff gets recognized for all their hard work. Larissa Spurling said, “ Testing is pretty much the easiest thing we’ve done this year. Its just long and drawn out.

 

It’s definitely for people who like to think and that’s us!” We are trying to raise money for our alumni prom themed “As time goes by…” on May Nineteenth and for our Ashland field trip on may Eighth to the Eleventh so we are holding a yard sale on Saturday May fifth. Any donations are appreciated.

 

On May Eighteenth we will be having a whole slew of activities called Ruptured Duck. In this event all kinds of continuation schools get together and have some good old-fashioned fun with classic games like limbo and a three-legged race.

 

I’ll have more on that next article. As you all know we won model school for the third time in a row and received a beautiful student designed flag and an extraordinarily crafted plaque.

 

We have pictures of us with it on our school web site. Speaking of plaques we have about forty- seven senior plaques for our school that the school based enterprise generated and ninety-four academy plaques for Lower Lake High School’s Academy led by Nancy Harby.

 

We are creating plaques for The Lewis School Graduates, Konocti Community Day, for the Konocti district office: Classified Employee of the Year, Teacher of the year, and for Lower Lake Voc-ed awards sponsored by Dave Hubbard. We truly appreciate these groups helping us work on our design skills and ultimately create our budget for next year’s design students.
