New school year begins

Hi everyone, I finally am able to sign into blogger. (I knew I'd forget my password). I hope everyone's doing well. It was really nice to be able to be in the same class with all of you, the environment was great.

The New school year has begun for our K-12 school. Both returning and new staff are well on their 2nd week of instruction. I am hoping the school year will be productive and positive for all who attend and work there. We've had teachers (especially highschool) that have changed almost on a yearly basis, makes me wonder about the progress of our highschool students,but I'm hoping it will be different this year. I'm hearing great things about the leadership so far.

The weather has been great, it's like summer is finally here, but sad to say that it's mostly gone. It really has gone by fast. The first cross-country meet was held here this past Saturday with neighboring villages, Hooper and Chevak participating. It was great to see the young people's energy bubbling all over town. Our H.S. boys and girls did very well.

I hope all is going well for all of you, it's good to read about what's happening in your part of the world.

I'm glad you got your password problem figured out. One of the perils of modern times--we all have so many passwords to remember.

I too spent Saturday at a cross country meet, watching my son compete at Delta Junction. The weather was perfect, the woods smelled like cranberries, and the team did well. Doesn't get much better than that.

HI Darlene! So good to hear from you! I just got back from Anchorage too yesterday - I had to bring my Ap'a to have a CAT scan...he is doing alright but it was one long unexpected trip spent all in the hospital. I am trying to get my ed 330 stuff done-can't really get the rubric set the way I want it. I think the deadline is September 30th? got to make sure. Another thing is I can't get into the panraven thing, kinda frustrating. My girls are out camping on a school trip in the "wilds" :)) even my eldest one -she is a chaparone. the house seems so empty, especially because it was left all dirty from when I was gone. I know we will get things done on time. well I gotta get back to trying to finish what I can tonight. Burning the midnight oil because I know I won't sleep right away - too quiet here now. Hope to talk more later - until then take care!
