ALASKA DAY
The class has been hard at work earning their class Bastoky bucks and they
finally earned their 75 bucks for “Alaska Day.” As many of you might already
know, I started my teaching career in the Eskimo villages of Stebbins and St.
Michael in rural Alaska. In addition, I also spent my summer in Anchorage this
past summer. I am excited to share my experiences and academic resources with
the class! Alaska Day will take place Friday September 25th. Each academic
subject will geared toward Alaska. I enclosed the following schedule of events
if you would like to come join us and help us celebrate “Alaska Day!”
