Nikiski North Star Elementary

NNS is celebrating Love of Reading Month during the whole month of February. Our “One School, One Book” activity has begun. We are reading Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White. We ask families to read the assigned chapter at home every night and discuss what happened in the chapter. The following day, we will announce questions related to the chapter during morning announcements. There will be prizes awarded for students who are able to answer the questions correctly. This is a wonderful activity for you to be involved in with your children and enjoy the love of reading together as a family. On Friday, February 27th we will have a family movie night at 5:45 pm in the gym. We will be showing the movie of Charlotte’s Web and have popcorn, drinks and a very special themed cake. It is sure to be a fun filled evening and a wonderful way to conclude our Love of Reading month!

Thank you to Travis Moore for donating his time and energy for manning the Scholastic Book Fair held during the week of parent/teacher conferences. You are a valuable volunteer to all of us! Also, thank you to Robin Thye and Monica Heath for coaching our Battle of the Books teams. Each and every one of you are appreciated at NNS!

River City Academy

Last week RCA held a coin drive to raise money for the Model United Nations program. Participants added their spare change to the jar of their favorite teacher, student or staff person. The ‘winner’ was treated to a water balloon soaking on Friday. Teacher Annaleah Karron was the unlucky winner with a total of $156 in change in her jar. Students surrounded Karron outside of the RCA building and enjoyed throwing more than 100 water balloons at the defenseless teacher. In total the students raised $535 for the Model UN program!

Fourteen students and three adults will travel to Anchorage on February 26-28 to participate in the Model United Nations program at UAA. The students will represent four countries this year; Syria, South Africa, Vietnam & Venezuela. This year’s topic is “Waste” and students are expected to research and debate from an accurate cultural point of view. This is River City Academy’s second year participating in the program and we hope to make it an annual academic event. RCA is still fundraising for travel and lodging expenses including an upcoming Spaghetti feed on Monday, February 23, and possibly finding some annual company sponsors who want to partner in support of the program.

RCA will be offering Saturday school opportunities beginning February 21st until the end of the academic school year. Students will be able to focus on specific contents with support from school staff to complete missing work, work toward graduation or accelerate their progress. Classes will be from 8am-1pm and there will be ten Saturday offerings from now until May. Please call the RCA school for specific dates, check out our Facebook Page, or the calendar on our district web site.

RCA is accepting enrollment applications for students in grades 7-12 who are interested in a unique school experience. Students who are looking for a smaller, more personal education and who demonstrate skills in being self-motivating, self-managing and self-advocating are often an ideal fit for RCA. The performance-based model offers students choice in their education, while maintaining a consistent standards-based curriculum. For more information about our upcoming Open House, to register for the Shadow Day or if you have questions, please call 714-8945.
