Description:  Misha and Alexa work with the Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies and have been traveling to our school sites to teach hands on marine and coastal science to our students.  Misha and Alexa are creative and energetic and our students loved learning with them on activities and getting outside to study the local coastal environment.  From plankton tows from the docks to games in the gym, our students had a wonderful time.  
We are so grateful to Misha and Alexa as well as the Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies for taking the time to come work with our students and make science fun!

Description:  The maintenance position for the school has been unfilled for a while, but Chris has always been there for us to keep the building running smoothly. Whether the toilets don’t work, the heat goes out, the generators don’t run, the ceiling is leaking, or the snow is about to engulf us, Chris is there to lend a hand. On several occasions, he has even "loaned" us his own maintenance crew and outside professionals! Chris embodies the community spirit of Chenega, and we are very fortunate to have him.
