K-2 Class Invites Grinch
K-2 Class wrote letters to invite the Grinch to Nanwalek School. They asked him to come on his best behavior. We have photo evidence that he received the letters! We are now hoping that he is able to come and that he meets our standards of being Respectful, Responsible, Safe and Kind!
3-5 Class Invites Old Lady to Nanwalek School!
The 3-5 Class works hard and plays hard! They love working on their iReady math and I can't wait to see how great they do on their middle of the year benchmark tests. During Sugt'stun, they invited Old Lady to come visit the school. I hope she comes and shares her knowledge with them.
