Rubber Ducky Race


Last Saturday we had our first official fund raiser. It was a Rubber Ducky Race at Parkers Creek. We made a lot of money and we had lots of fun. People bought their duck and then they were able to eat at the picnic. We had hot dogs, marshmallows and soda that you could buy. At 2:30, we dumped the ducks into the creek and watched them race down. We are hoping to be able to do it again after a big storm or when the snow off the mountains starts to melt. We had Erin take pictures of the event. 

Next week we will be having in-service. All the teachers will go to a Bristol Bay school to talk about different methods of education. We will have school Monday and a half day Tuesday. We have the rest of the week off after that.

Well I think that’s all for now. I won’t be posting next week because there isn’t going to be school.
