Spirit Week November 2, 2009

Once Halloween was over, it only seemed normal to have a Spirit Week. Sorry. . . that should be spirit as in school spirit! We started the week off with dress-up days.
Monday - Paint Your Face Day
Tuesday - Pajama Day
Wednesday - Dress Up Day
Thursday - School Colors Day
Friday - Qaspek Day




The kids seemed to enjoy themselves. Even the lockers were decorated. Esther's locker is decorated for the Native Youth Olympics. The sport Esther does is to kick a ball hanging from a string. She crouches holding one leg and then kicks herself up until she is standing on one arm, holding her leg, and kicking the ball with the other leg. It's pretty remarkable. The other poster is for volleyball. Our students don't dress like that for the sport; they wear uniforms, but the poster looks great. Our volleyball team was the district champs last year. This year seems to be a bit of a struggle. But who knows - once the district meet starts anything can happen!




Basketball hasn't started yet, but when it does - look out. It is extremely popular. We also have junior high/high school speech and robotics teams. It's nice to get the kids involved. But just as it is in the Lower 48, many of the students are in multiple activities and some students simply don't chose to be involved. We work hard to get all the kids involved. This year's Spirit Week was a success. As you can see, we think the Akiuk Grizzlies are #1.
