LOWER LAKE, Calif. – Here is a list of the student council of Carlé: representing Carlé from Alan Siegel’s Advisory are Triston Miller, Mathew Madrigal, and Destiny Parlett as the alternative.

Angie Siegel’s student reps are Riley Nielson, Lloyd Bridges, and Jacob Walker as an alternate.

Lance Christansen’s student reps consist of D’Angelo Wilson, Brianna E. Legg, and Candice Safreno as an alternate.

Last but not least Dan Maes’ student reps are Ana Barnard, Eli Bayer, and Micaela Martinez as an alternate.

Student of the week last week was Vanessa Gonzales. She is a very focused student who always has her eyes on the prize of graduation.

Chilys are slips students get from a teacher or staff member for either: Community, achievement, responsibility, life long learning or empowerment.

The Chilys that have been filled out with a student’s name and one of these five reasons are then put into a box for a prize-based drawing. The winners are then permitted to pick a prize she/he wishes. We do this drawing once a week on our morning TV bulletin.

The Chily winner last week was Emily Greig for responsibility. She picked a cozy blanket.

The end of the second grading period and our silver level movie is on Friday, Oct. 28. Oct. 31 is a day off. Have a very spooky Halloween!

Harvest Fest is Nov. 1 to give those hard trick or treaters a few days to come down off their sugar rushes.

The students this week who helped with the bulletin were Ryan O’Bryan, Brianna E. Legg and Ray Bassett. Thank you.

This reporter interviewed Lilli Edson, Carlé’s new counselor.

Edson was born in the Bay Area then moved to Blythe, Calif., where she lived for majority of her life. She received her Master of Arts degree in counseling psychology, with an emphasis in marriage and family therapy from the University of San Francisco.

Prior to her clinical experience in private practice and in schools, Lilli provided psychotherapy to children, adolescents, adults, and older adults in a community based behavioral health clinic.

She received specialized training for clients at immediate risk of suicide which specifically targeted the management of mental health crises.

Edson has provided services related to mental health care to school aged children and their families through the Safe Schools/Healthy Students Initiative and the Lake County Office of Education and now as the educationally related mental health services counselor at Konocti Unified School District.

She specializes in family and child therapy and is skilled in addressing the social, emotional and behavioral needs of children. She is professionally affiliated with the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists as a Marriage and Family Therapist Registered Intern and Alpha Sigma Nu National Honor Society of Jesuit Colleges and Universities.

Edson works at Carlé High School, Blue Heron and Konocti Education Center. Before becoming part of the team here at Carlé, she was interested in learning about our school. She was intrigued by the ideals of Carlé as she spoke of the empowerment that was encouraged amongst the student body.

Now that she has been working at Carlé she has noticed the strength of the population and has learned something from each child. She values their drive and resilience. She herself is driven by her family, the work that she does and the values that she holds. Carlé High School is lucky to have her.

Brianna E. Legg is a student at Carlé Continuation High School in Lower Lake.
