Add a team full of hard working students, four lovely women from the local Soroptimist club, a couple recipes, some love and presto! A tradition is brought back to life at Carlé High School.
On Feb. 28, thanks to Kelly Slater, Marsha Willard, Pam Pitkin and LeeAnn from the Soroptimist Club and their team of mini chefs, staff and extraordinary students were able to share a delicious meal together at the semi-annual Staff-Student Luncheon. This scrumptious meal left everyone stuffed and very pleased.
The students who were invited by staff members for their quality work all year long were Raylon Ray, Brandon Haggard, Arturo Negrete, Tyler Sterling, Teesha Greer, Jessica Boyle, Matt Brown, Arwen King and Nia Edmunds.
Ever heard the phrase, “Be there or be square”? Well, Carlé High School decided to switch it up! “Be There and Be Square!” at our “Nerd Day,” which took place on Mar. 4.
A lot of students dressed up showing off their peculiar and nerdy sides. After some extensive calculations, we all agreed student Raylon Ray from Angie's advisory and Brandon Haggard from Maes' advisory were indeed the nerdyist! And when it came to a quirky game of “Find the Glasses,” Monica Jackson from Alan's Advisory took the win.
Odyssey of the Mind made it to state! The students in the Odyssey Of the Mind club had a very eventful Saturday “thinking out side of the box.” “The Mustachines” reached the state level but have all agreed it is time to hang up the map jacket, and toss in the Kimono. However, this year's team made some amazing memories and awesome progress.
During the Soroptimist Luncheon student Lucas Powell presented Kelly Slater a plaque beautifully designed by Ellie Hackler thanking Kelly for all she does for our community.
Student of the week this week was Raylon Ray who is currently our top key chain seller. “It's always impressive when one of the toughest athletes at our school is a leader. Ray always comes to school with a great attitude and a willingness to try anything. He is a true role model for our other students,” said teacher Alan Siegel.
Another Gold Level trip was held on Thursday, March 10, at Lakeside Lanes again for some laser tag, bowling and some air hockey challenges. We would like to thank teacher Verna Rogers and the incredible Principal Ed Zander for setting up the trip. It was, once again, a blast!
The next day, March 11, was the Silver Level movie. Students who earned this treat by making gold, silver or bronze level with 100 percent attendance were able to get comfy and relax for a day.
We would like to welcome new students to Carlé High School: Sabre Bruffy, Gage Carlson, Shannika Chandler, Charles Drake, Junior Garcia, Raina Golden, Zack Gray, Rober Kanoe, Trauvann Lowe, Cody Perdock, Kevin Rampone, Tamara Reed, Joel Saldana, Robert Shurtliff, Lacey Talley, Martinique Throop and Trever Wilson. Hope you enjoy the Carlé Way!
Friday was the last day of the fourth grading period and to add a little spice to this grading period, a challenge took place. Any student who came to school every day of the grading period are entered in a drawing to win a Paul Pearce high school replica jersey donated by Alan Siegel.
More details and the winner next week.

HOPLAND, Calif. – “Gala on the Green,” the Mendocino College Foundation’s annual fundraiser to benefit Mendocino College students and programs, is scheduled for Saturday, June 18, at Campovida, 13601 Old River Road, Hopland.
The foundation’s Special Events Committee is working to confirm details for the event.
“We’re looking forward to presenting a wonderful evening of food, wine, music and auctions,” said Richard Cooper, co-chair of the committee.
Acknowledging the plan to host the gala in June is ambitious following the 2010 Gala on the Green last September, Cooper said the committee is attempting to present the gala at a time that does not conflict with other groups’ fundraisers and activities.
“We arrived at the June 18 date and spoke with the owners of Campovida to arrange use of the venue once again,” said Cooper.
Planning is now under way for the event’s food and wine, musical entertainment, and auctions.
Ticket prices and availability will be posted on the foundation’s Web site, http://foundation.mendocino.edu, when the information is available.
“We hope our loyal supporters will join us for a very fun, lively party that will benefit the Mendocino College students. Mark your calendar now,” said Christy Scollin, co-chair of the Special Events Committee.
Proceeds from the event are used to fund scholarships for students who attend Mendocino College in Ukiah, Lakeport and Willits.
Additionally, profits from the gala provide support for college programs.
Last year’s Gala on the Green raised more than $50,000 for scholarships and educational programs.
