Diomed ROCKS!

Welcome to the 2018 - 2019 school year! We'll be having early outs each afternoon this week, but we'll also be doing fun projects as a whole school to build community both within and outside the school. Join us on Friday, August 31 at 1:00 PM for a Diomede clean up. We'll be hitting the streets with trash bags and rubber gloves to make this community shine!

Open House

Diomede School will be hosting an Open House this Monday, August 27 at 7:00 PM in the gym. After an introduction to the new teachers and principal, we'll move down into your students' classrooms for further details on the upcoming school year. From 8:00 PM to 8:30 PM we will have refreshments and snacks in the gym. I hope to see you there!

Ulu Classes

Mr. Rob is teaching the 4th and 5th graders how to make ulus. Eventually, the older kids will get to make their own ulus as well. If you're interested in making an ulu, talk to Mr. Rob. He'll have the shop open during open gym on certain nights for carving and metalworking. He'd love to give you a hand in whatever project you'd like to tackle!

Thar She Blows!

Yesterday a gray whale washed up on the tip of the helicopter pad. It looks like some orca whales ate off her jaw and tongue and left the rest for us! Be careful down on those icy rocks while harvesting. Bon appétit!

Holiday Program

Diomede School will be celebrating the holidays early, as the teachers will be leaving for break this Wednesday. Please join us Monday night at 6:30 pm for a special holiday program. We will start with singing and dance, and end with a special video from Mrs. Leah's class. Afterward there will be presents and treats! I hope to see you there.

Halloween Double Feature!

In celebration of Halloween, Diomede School will be hosting a double feature night on Friday, October 27. We'll be watching Paranorman at 6:30 PM and the new Ghostbusters at 8:15 PM. Between the two films, there will be a costume contest. Come and vote for your favorite costume and win prizes! First place will be $20 at the Diomede Store, Second place will be $10, and third will be $5. Happy Halloween!

French Cruise Ship

Many of our students had the opportunity to travel aboard a French cruise ship today via zodiac to demonstrate Eskimo Dancing. Tourists from around the world got quite a show. Later on, they allowed most of the kids (and a few of the teachers) to come aboard for a tour. Thanks for the hospitality! We hope to see them again next year.
