Hello again readers, and welcome to the Carlé Chronicle, your primary news source for all things Carlé High School.
On Thursday, Dec. 11, all Konocti Unified School District schools were closed down due to the rain storm that hit Lake County and caused severe flooding all around.
While the storm didn't hit Lake County as hard as many parts of the Bay Area, the effects were still enough to close off some roads and cancel school for Thursday.
We hope that students, staff and all other citizens stay safe while the winter weather continues.
On the bright side of things, our student of the week was Daniel Alvarez, a hardworking creative guy with a great attitude in and out of class. He's been a great addition to Carlé and we're thankful to have him. Congratulations!
At Carlé, students who go above and beyond outside of class and help around the school in their free time are given slips called CHILYs (Carlé High Is Liking You).
These CHILYs are put into a box in the office, and once a week during the school TV bulletin, a slip is randomly drawn from the box and the student can redeem the slip for a prize.
Prizes include sports equipment such as footballs and basketballs, blankets etc.
Our last CHILY drawn was written to Jeremy Hunter, who received the slip all the way back in August and was just recently drawn. He chose a football for the prize and we hope he enjoys tossing around the pigskin with all his friends.
The Lake County Rotary Club has been hard at work planning for the holidays. On Saturday, Dec. 13, the Rotary Club hosted a fantastic Christmas dinner for the whole community. Carlé students led by Principal Strahl helped out with the dinner in various capacities. More info on this in the next article.
Totes for Teens, a nonprofit organization that assists struggling teens – primarily foster care teens and those with low incomes – has been very generous this year towards Carlé for the holidays.
The program ensures teens in need receive the supplies they need, including sleeping bags, pillows and blankets, warm clothes such as jackets and socks, and a duffel bag to keep it all in.
In addition, they give each person two Christmas gifts – one for themselves, and another to give to someone else to spread some goodwill and holiday cheer.
We thank the Totes for Teens crew for all their support and wish them all Happy Holidays!
Our school design crew will make unique thank yous for these very special people who have worked so hard to help so many.

Hello again readers, and welcome to the Carlé Chronicle, your primary news source for all things Carlé High School.
We're nearing the end of our third grading period, and in two weeks we will be halfway through the school year. Everyone, staff and students alike, have been hard at work.
Here at Carlé we have a very personalized approach to teaching. Students are encouraged and expected to be self-motivated and work at their own pace, but at the same time our staff's hands-on teaching approach and teamwork oriented activities helps to encourage cooperation and allows everyone a chance to shine in their field.
Our students of the week were Samuel Martinez and Quintessa Strahl, who both excel in their school work and display a strong sense of maturity and self-determination towards graduating. Congratulations, great things are in store for you both!
Carlé's student council has been hard at work discussing future school events and projects.
Scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 17, is the gold level trip for our hardest working students.
On Thursday, Dec. 18, Carlé will be hosting a holiday meal for our student body.
The lunch starts at 11:30 a.m., and all our students are excited to have fun and enjoy some delicious food with their fellow classmates and staff.
All the holiday bookmarks will be given out at that point.
Topping off the week, on Friday, Dec. 19, the silver-level movie will take place in the library.
Our school's library, while still having a wide selection of great books, doubles as a multipurpose room, with everything from dinners and gold level movies to workshops and open house taking place in the library.
Student council recently approved funding for a new air hockey table and a foosball table in the library, both of which have been a major success for lunch time activities.
During set periods of the day, council members have volunteered to watch over the library in shifts, to make sure other students are on task and the equipment is all working properly.
We'd like to thank all our students for helping make this school great and showing maturity. Every person brings something different to Carlé and helps strengthen our school, and we can't wait to help them graduate and see them move on to bigger and better things.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Several wonderful guest lecturers from the Lake County medical community presented extensive teaching sessions during the month of November for the Lake County Office of Education Medical Assistant class.
The 16 adult continuing education students are studying to become future health care workers through a nine month course leading to national certification.
Each week the class is visited by well-known and respected medical professionals in the community who speak to a specific topic being covered in their medical course.
Dr. Marlene Quilala, local pediatrician, spent a Saturday reviewing the important details of caring for sick children and ways to maintain good health in children from birth to 18 years of age.
Dr. Gary Maes, local family practice physician, shared information about what happens to the mind and body when people grow older.
Dr. Maes discussed heart disease, lung problems, strokes, bones (osteoporosis and fractures), Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia. He also shared ways to cope with various other geriatric issues.
Sutter Lakeside Hospital staff and nurses delivered user-friendly lectures covering topics ranging from the importance of correct medical record documentation, women’s health, surgical methods and the workings of all the body’s systems.
The program offers a big thank you to Emile Castanchoa, RN, Jackie Rad, RN, Monique Redding, RN, Jason Winegarner, RN and Patti Smith-Hakin, medical records manager, for sharing their expertise and experience.
All of these health care professionals have donated their knowledge and time to enrich and support the efforts of the Lake County Office of Education’s Career Technical Education Program. Their generous gift of knowledge and their example of professionalism inspired the entire class.
The students are most thankful to them for such an outpouring of support from established and esteemed members of the Lake County health care community.
