Staff Spotlight-Kristin Jackson
Meet Kristin Jackson, a Sponsor Teacher. Kristin homeschools her own children and loves working at Family Partnership! She loves to travel, especially to warm, sunny destinations like Hawaii. A dream trip of hers would be to hike in the Alps or in New Zealand (maybe for her 25th anniversary in a couple years). She loves watching her children play sports including basketball, track, and cross-country running. As a chaperone and spectator of her kids' sports trips, she has had the opportunity to explore our beautiful state and visit so many places including Kodiak, Utqiagvik, Cordova, Valdez, and more. She tries to find a new place to hike or walk on each of these adventures. Kristin's high school son convinced her family, including extended family, to participate in a Fantasy Football league with him. It turned into a fun family event that joined out of state family including cousins at college. This league has lasted for a few years now, and she even won one of the year. Kristin also enjoys family movie nights with popcorn.
Join us Saturday, January 21st from 10am-12:30pm at the Sheraton to celebrate National School Choice Week! Family Partnership will have an informational table and prizes for the kids. Come see us! Students can participate in a School Choice Celebration Essay Contest here.

More About Nordic Combined Sport
“Nordic Combined" is a winter sport where athletes compete in cross-country skiing and ski jumping. Wherever you land for the first jump dictates where you are seeded in the Nordic race. So if a skier jumps and gets first place, they get to start the Nordic race first. If a skier places second to last in jumping , then they get placed second to last in the race line up. The sport was invented by the Norwegians and is to this day, dominated by the Norwegians. Ski jumping is like soccer in Norway, there are jumps in every neighborhood. The competitions draw huge crowds with thousands of people cheering. Check out some of these vintage Norway ski photos!
