Last week was the end of our first six-week grading period. Carlé also had its first gold level trip of the year to the Wiloth Equine Therapy and Riding Center on Tuesday of last week. The students had a great time riding horses, going on a hayride, spitting pumpkin seeds, and at the end being able to pick a pumpkin to take home.

Ashley Wiebusch said, “I got to ride a horse! It was awesome. Her name was Duchess and she matched me perfectly.”

We have two new students who joined us at Carlé, Paul LaRue and Ashli Bonsey. Welcome to Carlé and we hope you enjoy it here.

Our CHILY winner was Katie Boulrice, congratulations. The student of the week is Lucas Powell,

who is a wonderful student doing a great job in all of his classes.

Birthdays last week were Jeffrey Martin and Shanea Bullard. Happy birthday and we hope you had a great time.

Pamela Bordisso, a great counselor from Yuba Community College, came to Carlé to talk to the seniors about going to college and future careers they are interested in pursuing. Thank you, Pamela, for talking to our students.

Carli Tippett was also a great help at Carlé, preparing a lunch for the staff members and the students they chose to accompany them. Carli had help with cooking from four students who have a passion for cooking. Those students were Ellie Hackler, Michelle LaRue, Winter Gray and Kaitlyn Sliger. Thank

you for assisting Carli in making such a great meal.

“The food was delicious and the company was delightful. It was a classic Carlé event,” said Alan Siegel.

Ms. Tippett will be running this great reward meal once a month this year at our school.

The CAHSEE, high school exit exam was held at Carle on Oct. 6 and 7 for the students who needed to pass it in order to graduate. Our picture day was on Oct. 8; we would like to thank Mugshots for coming to our school and taking the pictures.

On Oct. 9 our school went to Highland Springs for our annual advisory field day, with activities and a barbecue. The Lake County Land Trust dinner was held Oct. 10. It's an annual fundraiser for this great organization whose goal is to preserves open spaces and help the environment here in Lake County.

Also, on Oct. 8 it was the first chance for Carlé to assist the Lake County Co-op with JoAnn Saccato at the senior center. The first students that worked there were Danielle Hudson and Katie Boulrice. As you can see Carlé is determined to help our community to the best of our ability.

Kaitlyn Sliger is a student at Carlé Continuation High School in Lower Lake.
