Last Daze...

It is unbelievably busy getting ready to move out of here. Buying some beadwork is high on my list. 

Cute teacher appreciation gift. 

The girls helped with the cleaning of the classroom... They made a mop and a "mini-dry mop" Reminded me of movie, Joy. 

What a reminder of what a gift music education is. We have to fund the arts. Its not fair that some students dont get exposed to it on a weekly basis... 

Last Day water balloons. I gave the kids envelopes with my new address on it. I told them it cost about $.047 cents to mail it at the post office. N exclaimed "That's the cheapest thing I have ever heard of!" 

Field day.. races in the middle of the road! lol 

Diane Bridges has retired. She worked here as a book-keeper, TA, and then as a teacher for 29 years. In a district where the average teacher stays 0.75 years (yes, we had 2.5 leave mid-year)... its huge, having homegrown teachers... 

Speaking of which... The Valedictorian this year, got what might be the last Alaska Performance Scholarship. She will study Elementary Education... So happy to hear that...

I have loved the quarterly awards ceremony. Its a chance to say something positive about each of the students. They give quarterly $10 for perfect attendance. Only 2 students out of the entire DISTRICT had perfect attendance all year, so they each got $100 and a new bike.
