North to Alaska!!

Well, I am finally going to get to do something I have dreamed of for about 10 years.....Teach in Alaska! I have accepted a teaching position in Gambell, Alaska. Where is Gambell? It is on an island in the Bering Strait and about 36 miles from the coast of mainland Russia.

 

Here is an aerial view of Gambell.

 

The link below will take you to the Bering Strait School District website. Go down a little on the page, to where it says "Village Videos Here," and scroll down to Gambell. It will give you a little introduction to the village.

I am trying to get organized with my packing. Everything I am taking has to be mailed through the post office. I am preparing to do a bit of bulk shopping here before my bulk shopping in Anchorage. More about that later.

This is just a quick post. I wanted to get something up before school is out here so I can get the site out to all of my Herndon Elementary folks!
