 Frank's Classes

Frank's Classes

Over the past few weeks students in Frank's English classes have been reading Fallen Angels, a novel about the Vietnam War by Walter Dean Myers. They have viewed part of the long video series on the Vietnam War and heard community member Richard Oney's personal account of his participation in the war in the early 1970's. They have also been working on their next Fox Fire book, Fish, Fire and Water which involves research on Alaska's fish species and fishing issues such as global warming.

In World Studies his students are presently on Latin America. Recently a Peruvian came to his class to talk about Peru in Spanish. Frank was the translator.

Journalism has been devoted to a Cultural Journalism project titled Building Personalities of Marshall, journalism analyses of various types of magazines, a unit on comics presented by the student teacher, Flora Evan, and, most recently, the October newspaper.

In Russian Frank and his students have been studying days, months, prepositions, common verbs and expressions, and the past tense.

Donna Best's Special Olympics

 

Donna Best's Special Olympics

Donna reports that "Special Olympics is a year round program which provides sports training and competition for athletes all over the world. We are fortunate here in the LYSD to have a strong program which was established five years ago.

Special Olympics training began this year on Sept. 12 with students from grades 3-1 1 participating in bowling training. The bowling team is very excited about the opportunity to learn a new sport and have a great time in the process. We are currently working hard to prepare for a possible tournament at a "real" bowing alley in Bethel. At this tournament we will bowl against teams from Pitka's Pt., Pilot Station, Russian Mission, Mtn. Village and St. Mary's.

We hope to expand our Special Olympics program in the Lower Yukon area by adding cross-country skiing in the winter and floor hockey in the spring."

 

Marshall Student Council

Report

The Student Council officers were elected on September 17. The officers are: Jackie George, President; Charlotte Alstrom, Vice President; and Cheryl Hunter, Secretary-Treasurer.

Our goal for the Student Council is to make it an enjoyable year for everyone here in the Marshall School. We are presently working on organizing the student store and getting used to our new way of conducting business.

Our plans for this year are to raise more money so we can get the things we need for the students. We are planning to purchase basketball uniforms, jackets, and more things for the student store to make more of a profit. We also want to get a good D.J. for the Prom and have a nice graduation ceremony. Our other plans are to have intermural games for all grades and have school parties where students can watch movies.

We want to make everyone happy so they will enjoy the school year.

Jack George

Student Council President
