We are so proud of our students for their participation in last week’s ANSEP activities—what an incredible experience! ✨
Our students dove into hands-on learning, challenged their thinking, and worked together as a team. Even more impressive was how responsibly and respectfully they represented Shishmaref School and our district throughout the week.
🏆 Huge shoutout to Marjorie O. and Karmen, along with their teammates from Brevig, for taking 1st place in the Bridge Building activity! 👏🏽
Beyond the awards, our students showed strong critical thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving skills every step of the way—and we couldn’t be prouder.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this opportunity possible for our students. They continue to shine bright and represent our community with pride.
Keep shining, Northern Lights ✨💜💚
