After everyone got settled in and comfortable, new Principal Ed Zander gave his welcoming speech to new and old students alike, and was heavily applauded.
The next order of business was getting our budget agreed upon; the guidelines were provided by the student council. We convened the parents who attended as our site council and brought up the budgetary needs. The site council voted and the vote was unanimous.
On a side note, the current members of the student council are Marquice Lamar, Courtney Lawson, Kristina Micheletti, Chelsea Dawson, Chelsey Shrum, Marissa Tagle, Leanna Efestione, myself (Bryan Layne), Cheyenne Taylor, Jonathan Hill, and Jamila Parker.
Katie Flannery agreed with me when she said, “It was extremely fun and successful.”
Danielle Hudson also pointed out the fact that students also received some credit for coming, when she said, “[It was a] Really good way for teachers and parents to meet and discuss future curriculum and grades, while we get credit for coming.”
Mia Dupard had this to say: “It was a really big deal, and it went over extremely well.”
The event was a potluck also, and everyone brought delicious food. Actually, Dylan Sheldon summarized it in three words. “Food was BOMB.”
All in all, it was another successful event put on by the Carlé staff and student body.
In other news, Carlé High School students volunteered on Oct. 8 at Lower Lake Park for the monthly Lake County Community Action group's dinner. Students Bonny Passley, myself (Bryan Layne), Codi
Burr and Michael Tellez volunteered to help set up the event, and help serve and clean up the dinner.
These dinners are on the second Wednesday of every month, but this one hits home especially because it's also a memorial for Russell Ristici (one of the main benefactors for Carlé and a major player in the Lower Lake group), who just recently passed away. We at Carlé will truly miss him and plan on dedicating a tree at Carlé in his honor.
Students of the week these last three weeks, in chronological order, were Bonny Passley, Justin Duncan and Leanna Efestione. These three students truly exemplify the best of our community and we are very proud of them. Congratulations!
Also, our students volunteered to help serve dinner and set up for the Lake County Land Trust big shindig at the Blue Lake Lodge on Oct. 11. Marquice Lamar, Kaitlyn Schneider, Atlee Erickson, Monica McGaffey, Kourtney Mckissick, Rodney Browning, Alex Huff and Leanna Efestione are volunteering to give up their Saturday under the guidance of Angie and Alan Siegel to help out.
It was another great week here at Carlé.

As many of you probably already know, Carlé High School's students volunteer every year to help make this event flow as perfectly as it does every time. This year was definitely no exception, with amazing music, great food, and an impeccable time had by all who attended.
When I asked Alan Siegel about how this event went down, he replied, “I have never seen such a well organized event such as this in the county yet. I completely enjoyed working with Frank and Anna Macatee (the organizers who put the event on this year).”
Not only did Frank and Anna put on an amazing event, but also according to Alan Siegel, (and everyone else who attended), Anna Macatee has, “An amazing voice.”
He also said, “When we got there and started working, there wasn't a single thing that Frank and Anna hadn't already thought of and taken care of. They literally took care of everything. They have an amazing ability to get people involved, and reward them for doing so.”
Frank and Anna Macatee also donated money to Carlé High School, the Explorer's group and the Boy Scouts.
I then headed to Angie Siegel to get her opinion on the Bluegrass Festival. She said she thought the festival “was absolutely wonderful.”
“It really made the hard work we were doing a lot more fun listening to the great music throughout the entire event,” she said. “I was extremely impressed with Frank and Anna's organization of the event, and their true commitment to support the community. It was an absolute pleasure working with their organization.”
Next, I spoke with Principal Ed Zander. “Watching all the Carlé High School students helping everyone out was great for the community and the school alike,” he said. “Frank and Anna set the event up to be a great success. I'm really thankful that we got the opportunity to help. Alan and Angie's guiding of
the students during the event was great. They're such good role models for students and adults alike. This event was a great way for students to earn credit while helping the community at the same time.”
The students themselves were the really amazing group at the festival. Forty-one students volunteered for this event, which is over 40 percent of the entire student body.
“I couldn't have been any prouder as a teacher than I was at this event,” Alan Siegel said of the students. “They worked with incredible maturity and helpfulness were able to assist many many people over this long weekend. Honestly, I couldn't have been any more pleased with the way the students
conducted themselves. It was really a joy to watch the community witness what a special place Carlé High School is, and realize what Carlé is all about.”
Angie also said of the students, 'I'm extremely proud of how hard they worked throughout the entire event.”
“This event greatly helped add on to the already positive reputation of Carlé High School, and it helped prove that Carlé students help create community by helping out their own,” said Ed Zander.
So, needless to say, the bluegrass festival couldn't have gone any better.
Bonny Passley was awarded this week's student of the week for her hard work at this event and her natural leadership style. She leads by example. Bonnie also is our student organizer of the Lower Lake Community Action Group's monthly dinners which occur the second Wednesday of each month.
Congratulations, Bonny!
In other Carlé news, Ed's addition to the Carlé staff is going quite well. He is well loved by the students and staff alike, and things couldn't be going any smoother. Alan Siegel explained, “I couldn't be more pleased working with our new principal. He's extremely positive, and knows how to get the job done. When you give him an idea, he figures out how you can do it, instead of telling you why you couldn't.”
So there you have it – another completely successful year of a bluegrass festival, and complete satisfaction with the new principal. It can't really get much better.
Thanks for reading the Carlé High School Chronicle this week.
