Greetings Staff,

I hope each and everyone of you enjoyed time with your family and friends during the Thanksgiving holidays. This past week we had an opportunity for our students to be entertained by the Puvaa Inupiaq dancers. Their riveting performance caused for active participation from the crowd. This week basketball season begins and hockey will travel to Anchorage. On Tuesday you will have an opportunity to check out Patriots as they compete in this year's Poetry Out Loud contest that will be held in the auditorium from 6-8.

A good laugh is half the battle. If you can establish an overall positive classroom climate replete with laughter, you have just solved at least of your problems! If you don't believe us, then you could use a good dose of laughter!
