Every year Ms. Fosbery makes gingerbread people and every year she is not careful enough with her magic ingredients and her gingerbread people escape and run wild in the school. Maybe next year she will get the measurements right. Good thing she always has a team of gingerbread hunters on hand to round up those rascally gingerbread people.

Happy New Snow

In local nɬeʔkepmx culture it is the new snow that identifies the change of the season and so we wish every one, “Happy New Snow!”. It is good to be back in the building with our kids. They have been enjoying the new snow.

It was great to have Amelia Washington join us for our Staff Language and Culture Class after school today. She helped us practice our introductions and spent time teaching us about the different brushing off ceremonies. The staff are looking forward to having Amelia come back to join us in warmer weather in our Traditional Calming Space and leading us through these ceremonies.
