LOWER LAKE, Calif. – Our first grading period ended last week and we had multiple awards handed out by our Principal Mr. Strahl.

Normally, to get gold level you have to at least get 15 credits with 90-percent attendance but this grading period was different due to school being cut short due to the fires.

The staff decided that students only had to get 5/6th of what we would normally require in credits.

The gold level list is as follows: Nicole Arlitt, Kristin Melcher, Jason Arson, Samantha Miller, Andrew Astorga, Chris Nuzzo, Kacy Barro, Michael Nuzzo, Nick Begins, Emily Simmons, Jose Bendana, Alexis Stickle, Destiny Blevins, Nick Strickland, Ben Boyce, Elijah Clark, Doyle. J. Conatser, Kayla Doyle, Martin Ceja, Erik Fielden, Jasmine Heckard, Allen Hernandez, Zack Humphrey and Brianna Legg.

Awards were also handed out to students who got 100-percent attendance last grading period. Here is that list: Andrew Astorga, Brianna Legg, Anna Barnard, Chris Nuzzo, Kacy Barron, Alexus Stickle, Destiny Blevins, Nicholas Strickland, Doyle. J. Conatser, Triston Famalaro, Gage Fowler and Allen Hernandez.

Last year’s valedictorian Quintessa Strahl received a scholarship and started college up in Coos Bay, Oregon. Carlé would like to wish her luck and great success along with all of our previous graduates.

Carlé welcomed two new students last weeks and their names are Bessie Taylor and Sarah Viale.

Carlé would like to promote a program held at the Harbor on Main. The program is called Friday Night Live and it is hosted by Kendra Boyce. More information will follow in the next chronicle.

In student council last week we elected officers and we will report on the officers next week.

Our teacher Alan Siegel was picked by State Superintendent Tom Torlakson to be on the 2016 State Teacher of the Year selection committee. Unfortunately due to the Valley fire he had to evacuate and was unable to attend.

Doyle. J. Conatser is a student at Carlé Continuation High School in Lower Lake, Calif.
