Art & Science Fair

Please join us in the school cafeteria on Friday, January 22nd after 2:00 p.m. for a double dose of student achievement. Our science fair and art fair will be open to the public, and we're still looking for judges. Swing on by and check out what our kids have been working on! If you are interesting in judging art, science fair projects, or both, please talk to Michael or Rob for details.

Battle of the Books

Both veteran Michael and rookie Rob have been coaching our students in the 2015/2016 Battle of the Books! Official battles will be held for Michael's team on Wednesday, January 20, while Rob's team will go to bat Thursday, January 21. Wish us luck and help our kids read, read, read! For more information about rules, books, and schedules, you can visit Alaska Association of School Libraries website.

New Teachers

As Pam, Michale, Stephanie, Suzy-Q, and Rob return on the chopper, they'll be bringing Brenda and James Dolma with them. Brenda is a veteran teacher and will be here to work one-on-one interventions with our students, while James provides much-need support in the classroom. Please join us in welcoming these brave new travelers to our Diomede School family!

Secret Santa

Shop classes from around the Bering Strait School District have sent student-built toys for our students to paint and prepare for one another. Andrea has created a secret Santa system to make sure each student will be both providing and receiving a gift. Swing on by for Friday art night with Vera and Rob on the 4th and 11th of December to choose a toy, paint, and wrap it. Toys will be selected on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Thanksgiving Feast and Dance

On Thursday, November 26th there will be a Thanksgiving feast in the school gym. Bring your favorite dish to our community-wide potluck and give thanks to our amazing village. Also, the following day, Friday, November 27th, we will be having a school dance from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Stephanie will, once again, be our marvelous D.J. The entire community is invited to dance those turkey bellies away! I hope to see you there.

Teacher In-Service
