LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lake County Office of Education medical assistant class of 2014-15 was treated to a lively, but information packed class on Saturday, Sept. 6.
Guest lecturer Sasha Reynolds, RNC, CNOR, BAHSA (retired), presented facts, figures and instructional knowledge centered on this day’s topic of obstetrics.
The class began its second month of a nine-month course engaged and enchanted as Reynolds guided them through the finer details of caring for pregnant women in a clinic or physician’s office setting.
Last month a regulatory enforcer from the state of California addressed the class regarding ethics and legal considerations as they apply within a medical assistant’s scope of practice.
The class found the information to be profoundly serious and extremely helpful in their professional development.
This adult education program boasts approximately 20 health care professionals from the community of Lake County who have committed to address these potential nationally certified medical assistants throughout the school year.
From doctors, nurses, physical therapists, and other health care leaders the program is enriched as these people share their passion, knowledge, experience and expertise achieved over their career lives.
LCOE has been told by the National Center for Competency Testing that their program is outstanding because of the depth of commitment demonstrated by the community to support individuals who are striving to achieve a national level of certification in the medical assistant field.
LCOE was asked if its program could be used as a model on a national scale.
Watch for future progress updates from instructor, Diedra Lagle, RN.

Hello again readers, and this is the Carlé Chronicle, your primary news source for all things Carlé High School.
Our student of the week was Alyssa Garnett, a quiet young lady who is very interested in literature and other media, and works hard during her classes.
Carlé's thematic period, which takes place the first three weeks of school and serves to get students ready for the upcoming school year, ended last week.
Classes specific to the thematic included geography, English, film studies, and the much-needed sex ed class. Since the thematic has ended, Carlé's core classes have now resumed.
For some students the thematic was a blessing, while others would have rather jumped ahead into their core classes.
“I think the thematic was good, it helped a lot except for the fact we could’ve spent more time getting credit in the classes we needed,” said senior Devin Black regarding the thematic.
As a reward for our continued good behavior and responsible work ethic during and after our first few weeks, our principal Matt Strahl decided to treat the entire school to ice cream sandwiches last Friday.
While he has been a very friendly and positive administrator, Mr. Strahl has been cracking down on any students who decide not to follow the school rules.
We’d like to thank the wonderful Pat Howell for stopping by and helping students out with credit checks.
Pat was previously employed here at Carlé and helped with work such as algebra and credit checks, she retired last year.
However, from the bottom of her heart, she decided to take a whole day out of her busy schedule to help Carlé's students with their grades.
Student designer Destiny Cypert was kind enough to make a plaque for Pat in honor of all her kindness and assistance.
Many people here in our community are excited for the next Big Read literature program, sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts, a program which encourages literary enrichment and celebrates the written word.
Teacher Robin Shrive has been working with members of the community to write a grant for this February’s deadline.
A survey was taken over the summer to see which book will be most discussed. A majority of the voters, nearly 75 percent, decided on “To Kill A Mockingbird” by Harper Lee.
We hope to have the support of all our readers to show thanks to this classic piece of literature, with activities planned to support and enrich our understanding and appreciation for the literary arts.
Charles Warren is a student at Carlé Continuation High School in Lower Lake, Calif.

Some of the school programs awarded mini-grants are the Kelseyville Kids Garden Club, the Mt. Vista Middle School Garden Project and the Cobb Mountain Elementary School Garden Club.
“We want to get the word out about this opportunity for the 2014-15 school year,” said LCCWA President Sharron Zoller.
