October Teacher Inservice

There will be no school for students from Thursday, October 22 to Friday, October 23. School will resume as usual next Monday.

Parent Teacher Conferences

Parent teacher conferences will be held from 2:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 20th. One lucky attending parent will win a drawing for a gift certificate at the Diomede Native Store. I hope to see you there!

Halloween Carnival

On Saturday, October 31, Diomede School will be hosting our annual Halloween festivities. Last year we had a chilling haunted house. This year we'll open up the gym from 3:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. for a Halloween carnival, with games, tickets, prizes, music, and more! There will even be a costume contest at the end! Bring all your family and friends for a real hoot of a time!

Diomede Went Dark

Since last Wednesday, October 7, the entire village of Diomede was without internet or phone service. We are back up for the time being. Here's hoping for continued communication with the outside world.

Heavenly Hats

Diomede School will be participating in the Heavenly Hats campaign to bring awareness to cancer survivors and raise money to fight the cell mutation. For a donation of $1.00, you can wear a hat in and about the school. Even if you bring your own hat, that $1.00 will get you a complementary hat. This will take place from 8:50 AM on October 9th to 3:30 PM. To find out more about the Heavenly Hat foundation, check out their official website here.

Picture Day

Even though our friend, Jeroen Toirkens has left back to Anchorage, Wednesday, September 16 will still be picture day. Diomede School gym will be open from 8:30 AM to 9:10 AM for family and student portraits. This service is free and can be shared online. Swing on by for some semi-professional photography.

Visitor from Holland and PICTURE DAY!

This weekend, Jeroen Toirkens (an international photographer from Holland) came to Diomede. He'll be staying at the school, but going out into the community and the island to photograph Diomede's beauty. Next Wednesday (September 16, 2015) he will be taking portraits of our entire school! If you would like a family portrait, come on in from 8:30 AM TO 9:30 AM on the 16th. Check out Jeroen's amazing books on Amazon.com here!
