Be sure to come to school and earn the credits that you need.
We would like to give a shout out to Kyle Fehr, the owner of DJ’s Pizza, for his constant support of Carlé and the schools in our district.
On Oct. 11, DJ’s will hold a fundraiser in which the money raised will be used for Carlé’s student council’s planned events such as prom, Harvest Fest or our gold level trips.
Thank you to the students who participated in the school clean up class period. Thank you to Adam Morganbesser, Jose Carrillo, Ashton Legg, Donovan White, Cataleena Steward, Adrian Carpenter and Vanessa Bigelow. We really appreciate you guys helping to keep Carlé a clean environment.
On Sept. 27, Chef Robert Cabreros of Woodland College hosted another job shadow for Carlé high school students. This is the third time he’s held this opportunity for our school.
Jessica Teixeira, Stacey Clemons, Aileen Landeros, Estefania Cuevas, Jacqueline Hernandez all attended this job shadowing event.
I asked Cuevas about her experiences during this job shadowing. “When I first got there I was nervous but after partnering up, my partner and I learned to make some really delicious food which we even got to eat,” she said. “I would do it again and recommend it to anyone interested in learning to make some delicious food.”
Thank you to both Bruno Sabatier and Chef Cabreros for all you do for Carlé’s students, opening up the world of education for our youth. Carlé students and staff can’t show enough appreciation.
In addition, 13 students currently enrolled at Carlé High School are also enrolled in Woodland college courses. We have students taking courses such as culinary, water treatment, and welding.
Great job earning credits faster for your high school graduation because one college credit is three high school credits.
It’s a really great opportunity and we are extremely glad our students are so committed to furthering their education. Once again we truly appreciate the wonderful Woodland Community College for this opportunity.
With a new school comes new student council representatives. On Friday, Oct. 6, Carlé held an election to decide our student council officers. Individuals will each have time to give a speech to tell the students of Carlé what ideas in particular they have to offer.
Students running for president are David Bejar and Cindy Ramirez. Students running for vice president are Ashton Legg and Ray Azevedo.
Students running for secretary are Teagan Tompioner and Caiden Harvey. Students running for treasurer are Donovan White and Abbreanna Gonzalas. Finally, the student running for activities director is Tarah Denson.
We are really pleased with all the students running to help make decisions for our school.
Due to the time of the election, winners will be announced in next week’s article.

Close to 50 students were assisted in completing their Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, in order to obtain financial aid and scholarships.
Those who attended the event and completed their exit surveys were eligible to receive prizes. Prizes were donated in support of college students by Walmart and Follett Bookstore.
Stanley Silsby, Lake County Campus Financial Aid Officer, organized the event for the campus.
"Being able to finance your college education is vital to our students' success here in Lake County," said Silsby.
Oct. 1 was the first date of the FAFSA application opened for submission for the 2018-19 academic school year.
It is highly recommended that students submit their applications as early as possible to ensure they receive their financial aid funds on time.
There are extra documents that are requested at times from different students, depending on their answers on the application.
Having that extra time to fulfill the needs of your financial aid application makes the process a much less stressful process.
Current students and future students are always able to come visit the office at 15880 Dam Road Extension in Clearlake to find Silsby and his staff who are more than happy to help with the process.
Those seeking to start classes in Spring 2018 should get their FAFSA applications completed as soon as possible.
For more information call the main office at 707-995-7900 or visit http://LCC.yccd.edu.

Since the first three weeks we had a thematic; basically, the first grading period was split into two.
The second grade period ends in six weeks on Oct. 27.
Students received their grades and transcripts during an advisory class, as well as having them mailed home by Secretary Harris.
Each student went over their grades and credit with their advisors and made plans to achieve their graduation goals.
A unique aspect of Carlé is that students are expected to be in charge of their credits and work with their advisors for the plan that best supports them.
On Sept. 15, Angie Harris started working for Carlé as the site secretary.
Harris was asked why she started working as Carlé’s site secretary and she responded, “I started here for a job opportunity and to progress my educational career and as a progression of achievement for me.”
I also asked, “Do you enjoy working at Carlé and the students here?”
“I really feel welcomed by all of the students, they made me like I'm part of their big family,” she said.
Finally, I asked if she could do anything other than what she is currently doing?
“If I were to do anything other than working with children I would work in the medical field as I previously did,” she said.
Ms. Harris is very friendly and extremely driven to help the students here. We at Carlé appreciate you keeping our school running so well.
Also occurring on Sept. 15, Carlé held an advisory competition. The activity that the students participated in was musical chairs in which the last five students standing got a medallion made by our lead designer Vanessa Bigelow.
First place winner was Donovan White from Lance’s advisory, second place was Piper Carr from Angie Siegel’s advisory, third place was John Almojuela, fourth place was Luis Tena and fifth place was Taylor Churchill. Congratulations to the winners, we plan on doing many fun activities like this in the future.
We would like mention officer Stephanie Green, Konocti district’s school resource officer. Officer Green is always dedicated to helping keep our schools a safe and responsible learning environment. We really appreciate all the effort you give for the students of Konocti and everything you do for us here at Carlé.
Student Jaime Miller made Officer Green a mug and keychain to show her how much she means to us.
The photo contest run by Carlé’s S.B.E. still has two weeks to go; make sure to submit anything you have so we have a chance to see them and make cool stuff with the winning photos.
All the students and staff of Carlé would like to thank Brenda Lothringer and Maria Camacho for their continued service to Carlé. Both Brenda and Maria are very friendly and always remember what in particular each student likes.
To show our appreciation toward them and what they do for us, Carlé S.B.E. program designed Brenda a mug and Maria a keychain. We can’t show enough appreciation for keeping our students fed, thank you both so much.
On Oct. 11, Lower Lake High School is hosting an ASVAB (military aptitude and skills) test in the fire science room. If you’re curious about going into the military be sure to sign up with Angie Harris.
Thank you to Ray Azevedo and Donavan Harvey for making our campus a cleaner environment.
These two students show their community spirit by recycling the whole school’s aluminum, glass and plastic along with all paper. Teacher Alan Siegel will take all the recycling in with the students and then take them to lunch as a reward for all their hard work.
Also, thank you to Deb Weimelt for giving Carlé students an opportunity for credit recovery through Odysseyware. Odysseyware is an online education and credit recovery software with many different subjects you can choose from. Thank you so much Mrs. Wiemelt we really do appreciate this special opportunity.

On Sept. 5, the U.S. Department of Justice issued an announcement regarding the rescission of the DACA program in an effort to provide time for Congress to enact a more permanent solution.
The recent DACA rescission announcement changes nothing in the YCCD Governing Board’s commitment to serving all students regardless of their race, ethnicity, national origin, religious beliefs, gender, sexual orientation, identity, medical condition, disability or immigration status consistent with the laws and policies of this country and the State of California.
At its Sept. 14 regular meeting, the YCCD Governing Board considered and adopted a resolution reiterating the district’s commitments to serving all students.
Additionally, the resolution implores Congress to take immediate action to resolve this matter with legislation to ensure a certain future for students affected by the DACA rescission.
