Greetings Ben Eielson Families!
I would just like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all the volunteers and families who have enriched our school community as we near the end of the first quarter. There are many examples I can draw from but I would like to emphasize a few! Starting with the 'Be the Change' Challenge Day last Thursday 23 adults, staff/parents/volunteers came together to begin work with 84 of our high school students on impacting and creating a positive school culture!
Next, our careers class students are beginning to work with a Mentor here on Eielson in an internship opportunity. This unique and valuable experience is only possible with the support of volunteer mentors and the support of Base Leaders.
There are more examples of the volunteers in lunch room monitoring, volleyball, football, cross country race volunteers, and chaperoning a dance to name a few. I am grateful and thankful for the support the Ben Eielson community provides to make our school better.
Thank you
Bruce Bell
