Attention AISD Community: 
A friendly reminder that the Pre-K (smaller) playground at Richard Johnson Elementary was designed and intended for students ages 5 and under.  We want to make sure the equipment remains in good condition, and older children using the playground can cause damage to it.
Please help remind your older students to only play on the larger playground during non-school hours.  Thank you!

The Ts'msyen studies class prepped and cleaned bark that was sustainably harvested.  According to teacher Mary Kennedy, this is half the work that goes into traditional weaving.  Great work, everyone!

Recently, our MHS students in Ian Hudson's science class received presentations on   various  careers!  
They heard  from Ken Bornchert and Dale Sebastian from the Bureau  of Indian  Affairs,  as well as Dawn Pringle from  our  local  forestry  department. They learned about  forestry, what foresters do, and  other career  paths in the natural  resources world. They also learned about careers in the maritime industry from Tomi Marsh, who  is a commercial  fishing  boat captain, and a marine pilot who drives cruise ships.  They also heard from Cassidy Patton who is a ferry boat captain for the Alaska Marine Highway.   
Thank you to all of our guests for taking the time to come to our school and for sharing your career and information about your field with our students!
