Carle High School would like to give a very special Thanks to Dr. Barry Munitz for donating $850 – for the third year in a row – to completely fund this year's senior plaques.
Senior plaques are a very meaningful remembrance of their time at Carlé that students get to take with them on their journey after graduation.
Students are awarded different “titles” to fit their unique personalities. To show Dr. Munitz our great appreciation for him student Karalena Cole made him his very own “senior plaque.”
After hours of thinking of the perfect award for him, we decided on “The Kind Heart Award” because that perfectly describes him.
Thank you again, Dr. Munitz, and we hope you enjoy your very own piece of Carlé.
Student of the week last week was Tyler Sterling for always being a very hard working student as well as for being one of our sweetest students ever. He often performs community service with the Lower Lake Action Group's monthly dinners, and was Carlé's top credit earner last grading period.
Gold level students for the last grading period were Karalena Cole, Stevie Cook, Nia Edmunds, Darren Gasperoni, Alejandra Gutierrez, Monica Jackson, Christine McQuown, Ashleight Short, Tyler Stirling and Jorge Vieira.
These students all hold special qualities about them and are all always trying to look out for our school. Congratulations Gold level students, you're as good as gold.
At Carlé we would like to welcome new students Sabre Bruffy, Shannika Chandler, Charles Drake, Raina Golden, Nick Paonessa, Robert Shurtliff, Tyler Stroup, and Martinique Throop. Hope you enjoy the peaceful community Carlé entails.
Portfolios last week were Raylon Ray and Marco Ochoa both held on Thursday, Feb. 3. Good job, seniors!
On the same day, Feb. 3, the students helping prepare the student-teacher luncheon got together with three special volunteers from the local Soroptimist club to create a menu, and share among each other ideas for the coming luncheon on Feb. 24.
Student Christine McQuown is taking on the leadership role and creating the invitations while student Arwen King assembled a group of students to thoroughly clean up the kitchen. They did a spectacular job, making it look spotless.
Student government collaborated and decided to raise money for prom. Since Carle is known for our fantastic media designs, what better way to raise money then asking for donations of $10 or more and giving them a choice between 4 different, exclusive key chains, designed, pressed and put together right here at our school.
If anyone would like to donate $10 toward our prom feel free to come by and look at the key chains or call Alan Siegel at 707-994-1033.
Students came together at Austin Park on the morning of Saturday, Feb. 5, for a walk to help the fight against polio.
Kinene Barzin who is a member of the Rotary Club in Clear Lake and is the advisor for Interact and Rotaract at Carlé, said, “This is part of the international campaign to end polio.”
The students feel good knowing they are helping to raise money to help end the scourge of polio.
Upcoming events include hazmat training Feb. 14 through Feb. 23, and the Odyssey of the Mind performance on Feb. 11 at Pomo Elementary School.

Student of the week last week was Derek Grace. Derek took charge of many of the printing processes in our school based enterprise including the printing of nearly all of the mouse pads and will do so again for our next contest, flags.
In addition he handles all the tech to set up for our silver level movies and was the final welcome addition to our current Odyssey of the Mind team.
On Jan. 20 students interested in seeing Universal Technical Institute were escorted by teacher Dan Maes to Sacramento to attend the Monster Jam and explore the school.
“It was well organized, well laid out, and very expensive,” said Maes.
“I thought it was awesome, especially the Ford program,” said student John Warren.
We would like to thank Mr. Maes for running this so students Marco Ochoa, Vince Adams, Levi Floyd, Jason Hammond, Mat Brown, John Warren, Richard Skinner and Arturo Negrete could experience it.
On Jan. 29 Odyssey of the mind members Karalena Cole, Stevie Cook, Momo Englander, Lisa Davis, Daniel Hernandez, Derek Grace and Dylan Ward attended the annual Spontaneous Day at Hidden Valley Elementary School in Santa Rosa last Saturday.
“Spontaneous Day is a lot like popcorn, you're never sure which kernel is going to pop next,” said student Momo Englander.
We would like to thank Principal Ed Zander for taking time to bring us down there so we could enjoy and learn from Spontaneous Day, and would also like to thank Cathy Parker for organizing this so students can enjoy these activities and truly think outside of the box.
“Spontaneous Day is creative problem solving at its purest,” said Parker. “It is hands on and brains on and is my favorite part of Odyssey Of The Mind. Lots of times it's hard to find hands on activities and this is a great way to get together and celebrate. I learned about OM when I was at Lower Lake
Elementary as a coach.”
Finally, we would like to congratulate our arm wrestling winner, returning and now two-time arm wrestling champion Dylan Nevarez. He and all the other first and second place winners were awarded hand made medallions created by students in our school based enterprise.

On Jan. 20 Gold Level students were rewarded by being taken out to Lyndall's Sports Grill for a breakfast of their choice and some laser tag with a side of bowling.
Everyone bonded and made memories by which they will remember high school. I personally will always hold dearly the instant teamwork that had sprung up due to a game of laser tag.
All of the Gold Level students would like to thank Principal Ed Zander and teacher Alan Siegel for
all that they do.
On Jan. 14 Team DUI members Willy Sapeta, Steve Tanguay and Pam Inman approached Carlé High School with an objective. Their goal was to reach out to the students and discuss the dangers of drinking and driving.
During their individual speeches to the students who had gathered in the quad, Team DUI related, and expressed emotions that affected us with each word.
Here are reactions from some of the students.
“The moment that impacted me the most is Ms. Inman's story on how she felt not being able to help her son even though he was begging her.”
“I was in a car accident before, I know how it feels.”
Because of them, many peoples can and will be saved. Because of them students are saying, “I will never get in a car with someone who has bee drinking.”
Carlé High School would like to thank Team DUI members Willy Sapeta, Steve Tanguay and Pam Inman for changing lives and futures of many people out there.
At Carlé we are proud and known for our very spectacular media program run by Alan Siegel so we would like to thank Carrol Maninger of Comprehensive Support Systems for donating $1,000 toward media room projects like TV8.
A senior plaque is a very personal thing to receive when graduating, that is why we would like to thank Dr. Barry Munitz for donating $850 for the third year in a row so that graduating seniors will be rewarded their personalized senior plaques.
This year we were afraid of losing an old Carlé tradition known as the student-staff luncheon, which honors hard working students.
Thanks to Kelly Slater, Marsha Willard and other volunteers from the local Soroptimist Club the luncheons will still be possible.
A group of students ( Christine McQuown, Ellie Hackler, Jorge Vieira, Arwen King, Steven Fogg and Austin Weldon)who have a keen interest in culinary will help keep the student-staff luncheon alive and will work with the Soroptimists to pull it off.
Our student of the week this week was Nia Edmunds, who is also Carlé High School's girls arm wrestling champion.
“She is an exceptional student who always works hard and doesn't let anything get in her way,” said super secretary Barbara Dye.
Upcoming events consist of Gary Martins' portfolio at 1:45 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 27, and the end of the third grading period on Friday, Jan. 28.
