On Friday, the MHS Theater Class and CLMS Band students traveled to Ketchikan to see the First City Players production of "The Jungle Book"!

After the performance, our students got an exclusive tour of the backstage. Students then toured the First City Players Playhouse and participated in a theater workshop and games hosted by Jack Finnegan. They had a great time and learned valuable skills to apply to the upcoming performance of "8 Minutes Left" on May 14 & 15 @ MHS!

We've got one more celebration today! 🎉

There isn't a nationally recognized Superintendent Appreciation Day, so we have decided to make one! Today, May 6th, is now the AISD Superintendent Appreciation Day, which also happens to fall on Mr. Lindsey's birthday!

Our community is truly fortunate to have such an exceptional leader guiding our district. Taw has dedicated more than 20 years of service to the district, growing through a variety of roles—from maintenance, to principal, to Superintendent—demonstrating unwavering commitment and leadership at every step. His deep knowledge of the district’s operations, combined with his tireless work ethic, ensures that AISD consistently provides the highest quality education for our students.
Under his leadership, a culture of positivity, collaboration, and innovation has flourished, strengthening both our schools and our community. We are sincerely grateful for Taw’s dedication, integrity, and the care he brings to his role each day.

Please join us in celebrating Mr. Lindsey! 🎉

Tomorrow, we encourage all students and staff to wear red in recognition of the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women & Girls (MMIW). Wearing red is a way to raise awareness and show our commitment to standing together as a community—caring for one another, honoring those who are missing, and working toward a future where no more relatives are lost.
