I apologize for not writing more this week. We had inservice all week long, and by the time we got home, we were both exhausted.
We had a great week at inservice meeting and getting to know the rest of the staff in the school. Tuesday we went to a BBQ at a teacher from the charter schools house for the Nome Education Association. We got to meet some of the staff from the elementary school, and get to see the Berring Sea from his beautiful house.
Wednesday we went to a Rotary meeting. We were invited by our new superintendent, who informed us that oh by the way, you are also the speakers. It was nice, and very informal. Once people found out we were from Minnesota, they wanted to know if we were Vikings fans.
Friday afternoon, there was a Cross Country meet at the high school, with about four other teams there. The schools don't have alot of sports (2 per season) but they take the kids every where to compete. On Saturday the team was flying to Kotzubue to run in another race, and they fly somewhere else every other weekend in September.
We were given some wonderful food gifts this week. Caleb, another new teacher, has taken up salmon fishing and brought over 2 gigantic filets for us the other night. Krista Marvin, another teacher in the jr. high, brought over to my classroom on Friday a jar of pickled salmon, blueberry syrup (that she picked and made), and fire weed jelly (again which she picked and made). They are wonderful treats!
Monday school starts. We both went into school yesterday for a few hours and will probably go in again today after laundry.
Hope everyone is enjoying the last couple weeks of summer, and that Blake you have an excellent 6th birthday!
