The first semester of school year 2009-10 has certainly flown by!
The pulse of our school was rapid, intense and relentless. Students and staff addressed academic pursuits, prepared for the respective sports seasons and welcomed the community as we utilized the building for various public events such as, but not limited to, bazaars, theatre productions and parent nights.
As winter sets in and, in conjunction with the beginning of our second semester,
our focus is still, once again, always on learning. By this time of the year, our students ideally recognize their accomplishments, realize their deficiencies as well as being cognizant of the myriad challenges that await. This is especially true of high school students and, in particular, our seniors. This is always the time when deadlines need to be recognized as well as acted upon. This is of such academic importance that one’s immediate, if not long term, future is in part
determined by what degree we engage ourselves in the next four months.
On another note, let us all welcome our new teacher, Jo Peterson. She is new to teaching, having completed one year as a middle school Spanish teacher in Nevada. She comes to us with highly qualified credentials, an abundance of enthusiasm and a desire to succeed in Alaska as a dedicated educator. May we all welcome her to our community.
Thank you to all parents/guardians, community members and regional entities who support our endeavors and help make a quality educational experience for our children.
