Weekly Greetings!
Last week, the students that had all their winter gear at school got to try out the new snowshoes purchased for the school. It took a little time to learn how to put them on, but it should be easier next time. Below is a picture just after we all got the snowshoes secured.
The kids really had fun breaking trail behind the teacher housing, and some students were even running in the snowshoes once they got a feel for them.
Hopefully, if it is not too cold this week, we will go out again and explore further into the wooded area.
We also had show and tell on Friday. Attendance was a bit low last week due to a variety of issues, but the students always are so excited to share and hear what others have to share.
With Parent/Teacher conference on Monday, we will have a short but full week. A week from Monday, on February 2, the 1st and 2nd grade will be attending the NYO competition in Tok. Kindergarten will not be required to attend school that day, so please keep your Kindergarten child home when the others are on this trip. It will be a very early departure from Northway for the 1st and 2nd graders because the competition starts at 8:30am. Sherri Demit and Dena Paul will leave the school with the van and students from the village at 6:45am. They will pick up students at the store that live on the highway at 7:00am. Please give your child breakfast before dropping them off at one of the two departure locations. I will meet the group on Tok. All the scheduled events will end at 3:30pm, so the group should be back in Northway sometime after 5:00pm. This is a very special event, and I am excited to see how the students will do in the competition. I will send a reminder home on Friday this week also.
Have an awesome week!
Kind Regards,
Julie Brown
