September 15th marked the end of the first grade period and with that we begin a normal grading period, since the first 3 weeks we had a thematic basically the first grade period was spilt into two. The second grade period ends in 6 weeks on October 27th. 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 Carle 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 September 15th Angie Harris started working for Carle as the site secretary. Harris was asked why she started working as Carle’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 Carle and the students here, she said “I really feel welcomed by all of the students, they made me like I’m part of their big family”. Finally I asked if she could do anything other than what she is currently doing? Angie said, “if I were to do anything other than working with children I would work in the medical field as I previously did”. Ms. Harris is very friendly and extremely driven to help the students here, we at Carle appreciate you keeping our school running so well.
Also occurring on Thursday September 15th Carle 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. 1st place winner was Donovan White from Lance’s advisory, 2nd place was Piper Carr from Angie Siegel’s advisory, 3rd place was John Almojuela, 4th place was Luis Tena and 5th 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 Carle. Student Jaime Miller made officer Green a mug and keychain to show her how much she means to us.
The Photo contest run by Carle’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 Carle would like to thank Brenda Lothringer and Maria Camacho for their continued service to Carle. 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, Carle 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 October 11th 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 Carle students an opportunity for credit recover 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.
