Happy third week of school, Carlé!
This article will discuss some of the goings on around the school.
I interviewed Mr. Wickersham, our new vice principal, on Friday, Aug. 23.
Where did he come from and where did he go to school? He came from Santa Cruz, Calif., and went to school in Berkeley.
He likes the fact that Carlé is small. He likes that our school has more of a family community feeling than a normal high school.
What does he like to do? He likes to play music. He likes rock music. He plays the bass guitar. How old is he? He is 46.
What he thinks would be interesting to the students about himself: He spent a summer working on boats in Alaska. He started a record label. He has traveled the United States with his bands 15 times. He used to skateboard when he was 15. He grew up with a lot of professional skateboarders and surfers.
What kind of sports he likes: He likes the San Francisco Giants, which is a baseball team. His favorite football team is the Oakland Raiders. His favorite basketball team is the Golden State Warriors.
His plans for the future are to work at Carlé High School and to make sure we have the best school in the district. He likes Carlé just as much as Lower Lake High School.
He wants to see students more involved in the community.
Class schedules will be changing this week as the three-week thematic ended on Friday, Aug. 30. Students will receive their progress reports on Tuesday, Sept. 3.
Picture day was Aug. 26. Saul Castaneda, the photographer, took all the Carlé students’ and staff’s pictures.
On Aug. 27, Michael and Starr Skidmore visited Carlé to hold a paintball club meeting. Paintball club’s president is Sienna Norton. The first game will be held on a weekend shortly.
Student of the week this week was Lucas Stickel. Lucas will be the first graduate from Carlé this year.
Carlé would like to welcome new student Desteny Cypert!

CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Advanced students in the Yuba College Culinary Program met with Chef Robert Cabreros recently to plan the menu for the upcoming dinner to raise funds for the Children’s Museum of Art and Science (CMAS).
The menu features local foods obtained from the Lake County Co-op and the Veggie Hut in Lower Lake.
Buffet plates will be presented by the students “tapas style.” Menu items include fresh mozzarella Lake County walnut pesto, wild style pulled pork tacos, soy ginger yakitori, lower lake pickled onions and peppers, Mary’s free range chicken with assorted Lake County grilled vegetables and Cantonese style fried wontons.
An assortment of local Lower Lake melons, fresh fruit kabobs and other desserts will also round out this scrumptious meal.

Welcome to Carlé and we hope you all love it here!
Not only are there new students, there is also new staff.
We have a new morning server named Gail and Mr. Wickersham is now our vice principal.
To help welcome Mr. Wickersham and Gail, plaques were made for them. Sabrina Farnan made a plaque for our new vice principal and Lance Thurston made one for Gail. Welcome to the Carlé family, we hope you feel at home!
On the subject of students: I’m now going to announce student of the week for our first week back at school. Congratulations Sabrina Farnan! Keep up the good work!
Sabrina was also this week’s Chily winner. She chose a stuffed puppy in a tall mug; which she gave to the school’s one on one para Guein Bouscal, who does that and so much more for our school.
Due to changes in schedule in the district, Carlé no longer has an afternoon bus. No need to fear, though! If you have no way home, Carlé can provide Lake Transit bus passes to you. All that you need to do to get these passes is fill out a simple form from the office and give it to Barbara in the office.
If you want to show off your new school to your parents and siblings, show up to open house on Sept. 26.
Timothy Mcguire and Kasandra Colwell are students at Carlé Continuation High School in Lower Lake, Calif.
