Taking on Alaska: Round Two!

I really need to get better about blogging more often!

We are back in the FULL swing of school. A few weeks ago we got LOTS of snow, I attached pictures so you can all see what a typical day after school is like when we get SO MUCH SNOW. We break paths, shovel the snow away from the windows, off the porch and then we play! 

Since my last blog, contracts have come out. I have signed on for a THIRD year in Kivalina…stay tuned for more information coming SOON! 

The other day when walking to the store, it was sunny and about -35 and someone said to me “nice out today,ah?’ and it made me giggle as I was walking away, for it to be a beautiful day in Port Townsend it takes sun, no wind, no rain, and it to be in the high 50’s (at least). In Kivalina it takes the sun, that is the only ingredient we need to make it a lovely day. Funny how expectations are different no matter everywhere you go. 

Our boys and girls teams will be traveling to Kotzebue this week to compete in the Regional basketball tournament, our principal will be going with them to work the games and attend meetings, this means I will be acting principal this week. It has been 3 weeks since I have had to do this and am excited that I had that break. I appreciate how much our principal does after walking a few miles in her shoes this week. 

The 3rd week in March we will have a week of spring break (yay!). Then the first week in April we will be doing testing, actually the first 3 weeks in April we will be having testing. After that its the downhill slide. I can not believe year 2 is almost completed. 

Thank you for the prayers—I appreciate it greatly!
