April is a full month for us. We have many community service opportunities coming up starting with a fashion show at the Lower Lake School House Museum on the fourteenth, Earth day Black Forest clean up on the Ninetieth and Twentieth, and on the twenty-first we will be serving and cleaning up after a Rotary seafood broil. Our Interact club will be hosting this fishy broil. Interact is Carlé working with the community. We need more members so please we are calling out to our student body. Join! It is an excellent way to get out in the community and make a name for yourself.
With a need to raise funds for student activities we will be having a yard sale next month. Any donations will be appreciated greatly.
We have a very special award that we give rarely. It is called the employability award. This award is rarely received and is given to students who work throughout the community and just work hard in general. We have given this award out more than ever this year. The special student who received this award this grade period was Daniel Saldanå. See you after the break…thanks for reading!

Another great person who received a spectacular award was Mike Stempe. He previously taught history at Carlé and helped it grow into the beautiful flower it is today. Stempe received the Youth Advocate of the Year award which Carlé staff as a whole received last year. It takes much dedication and love to students to receive this honor. We here at Carlé are very proud of you.
Another special person to Carlé, Frank Meisenbach, won the Environmental Award for his work with the community. Over the years Frank has donated plants, trees and flowers to Carlé and many other parts of this county to make our school and community more beautiful. In addition Frank has also donated trees that we have planted along Seigler Canyon creek in our watershed restoration project. Frank has done so much for this community that we really are happy to see him receive this award.
We have many portfolios this month and that means we have more graduating seniors. On March twenty-second Laura Bal presented her portfolio and earned an excellent review on it. She worked very hard and is now ready to start her adult life.
Another hard working student, Zanetta Phillips, presented her very creative portfolio on March twenty-seventh. She too is ready to start her adult life. Thanks to our excellent staff that works endlessly, these students along with many others will be more than ready for the real world.
We would like to thank a number of people for their help. First a very special, appreciative thank you goes to Chuck Doty and Easton Manson. They together donated eight hundred and fifty dollars for 42 senior plaques. This money will be used to purchase all the materials so our own school based student designers can make an individual plaque for each of our graduating seniors.
These will be mementos that students will have for the rest of their lives. Another thank you goes to Mrs. Orr for donating nine computers to us. These computers will help students advance their education. One of our computer whizzes named Faron Moran will make these computers like new. We will then allow our whole student body to request to be awarded one of these computers with monitors, mice and keyboards donated by the school. Students and their families will then own these computers and we hope this will be a start to reduce the digital divide that many of our students experience. Thanks for reading! Tune in next week!

LOS ANGELES – Three students won individual medals as a team of nine Lower Lake High School students, led by coach Nancy Harby, represented Lake County in the 28th Annual California Academic Decathlon, which concluded Sunday in Southern California.
In the Varsity category for Division III schools, Jared Focose won a bronze medal for Art and Jamie Walker won a bronze medal for Economics. Focose and Walker won their medals Friday in competition conducted at the LAX Marriott Hotel in Los Angeles.
Also in Division III Varsity, Kayla Huff garnered her bronze medal for Interview on Saturday at a competition conducted at Venice High School in Venice.
The Lower Lake team earned the right to represent the county last month when they captured the Lake County Academic Decathlon championship, snapping the seven-year reign by Upper Lake.
The Lower Lake students praised the benefits of participating in the competition, both at the county level and in the state competition.
Focose, one of the state medalists, said the competition greatly improved his study skills. “I had never really studied for anything else, before this,” he commented.
Lower Lake scored 33 points Saturday in the Super Quiz relay, the public portion of the competition, which occurred at the Collins Court of the John Wooden Center on the campus of University of California, Los Angeles.
In other announced results for Norcal Division III schools in the public portion of the Super Quiz, St. Helena scored 27 points; Marysville, 34; and Novato, 37.
Emily Riggs registered the top overall score among the Lower Lake participants in the competition. Riggs was awarded a $500 scholarship for placing among the top high school seniors in the 2007 Academic Decathlon.
The other “decathletes” from Lower Lake High School representing Lake County at the state event included Team Captain Kate Lyons, Emmalena Illia, Manual Pantoja, Anthea Tuley and Joe Riggs.
Fifty-five schools from venues throughout California appeared in the three-day event.
The Division III overall team gold medal winner was Summerville Union High School from Tuolumne County. Yosemite Union of Madera County won silver, while Novato High School of Marin County captured the third place bronze medal.
Northern California swept the top three team honors in Division II competition. Vanden High School of Solano County finished first, while Oakdale (Stanislaus) was silver and Casa Grande of Sonoma won the bronze.

The course helps students in the future who want to pursue a career in firefighting, trucking, law enforcement, toxicology or paramedic services.
Lakeshore Fire Chief Willy Sapeta let students experience what it’s like to wear real protective gear. They got to dress in a self-contained breathing apparatus and learned to decontaminate an infected area without putting themselves, others, the environment or anything else in danger.
Crystal Engelking said, “Imagine the panic and confusion of where to go, what to do and how to stay safe when a dangerous chemical is spilled in a city or anywhere. I’ll be one of the few people who knows how to control hazardous situations because of this excellent opportunity I have in hazmat.”
On March 7 there was a student-staff luncheon. The students who got to enjoy home-cooked chicken chili with our staff was Crystal Engelking, Brianna Dorner, Christina Orr, Holly Bray, Matthew Tipton, Tiffany Robinson, Mike Galli and Natosha Hill. The cooks were Pat Hand, Skyler Freeman, Melanie Ferriera, Natosha Hill, Jacob Gonzales, Cecile Girk and Holly Bray.
Our culinary students also got to go to Napa Valley Cooking School for a field trip. They got to have a look at this possible college choice.
We would like to thank Janelle Benefiel, Tony Bouscal and Gwen Benefiel for letting us use their beautiful Cobb Mountain property on Saturday, March 10, to have a super fun paintball game.
