Katemal's Summer School by Katemal Shorty

:
Katemal's Summer School

Over the summer Katemal was up at the school working with Nick Duny and Paul Boots. They were putting up a new storm entrance door on the west side of the school building. After doing this, they painted the classrooms and hallways, shampooed the carpets, and waxed the floors. As they do every year, they got the school ready for the students to start in late August.

Other than working in the school, Katemal went out on short boat rides over to the sand bar during hot days. He also went out commercial fishing in July. When he finished commercial fishing, he went down to St. Mary's for square dancing. After returning from St. Mary's, he and his family went up to the Kuik area to pick berries. Then just before school started he went out by boat to pick up a few logs to bring home to use in his stove during the winter.
