AISD Community:

We will be hosting the next regional DDF meet on December 12th and 13th, and we need volunteers!

Students from six teams across Southeast Alaska will be arriving in our community to compete, and we'll need a LOT of judges to help out. Whether you've done it before or don't even know what DDF is (it's Drama, Debate, and Forensics), we would love to have you!

If you are interested in volunteering to judge, please click on the link below to fill out the judging interest form:

https://forms.gle/o6qBNb2DZmf5SMqG8

If you are interested in volunteering in other ways (such as providing snacks for the judges' lounge, fundraising, or helping with organizing ballots), please click on the the link below to fill out the volunteer interest form:

https://forms.gle/f7ipLzJidPMqWJUs7

We will be having a judge & volunteer training on Thursday, December 11th at 6:00 pm in Ms. Pike's classroom at the elementary school. All judges need to attend this training, as there are some changes from previous years.

If you have any questions, please contact Chaya Pike (cpike@aisdk12.org) or Owen Fulton (ofulton@aisdk12.org). Thank you for helping us host a fantastic meet!

Check this out! Last week, MHS students made pizza completely from scratch to help practice the concept of building and balancing chemical equations!

For example: 1 pepperoni and 1 sausage and 2 cups of cheese equals 1PSC2 (Representing a whole pizza and a balanced equation)!

The students made the dough from scratch, and put on their own toppings. Thank you to AISD Food Services for allowing us to use their ovens, and to Mr. Weller for the fun (and delicious) lesson! Luk'wil aam dzapsm, everyone!
