Shishmaref Carnival = No Kids in Brevig
I just wanted to drop a little note about this week. We have had an amazingly low attendance lately. Shishmaref is holding it’s annual “carnival”, which draws a lot of our community up for the festivities. So our school has been pretty empty. Yesterday we had the annual Brevig Teller Olympics. Each year the two schools get together and compete in four categories, volleyball, dodge ball, cross country skiing, and Eskimo baseball. The schools take turns hosting the competition. Last year Brevig hosted it, so this year, we piled all of our kids piled into sleds, and snowmachined the seven miles over to Teller. The ride over there went smoothly. The kids seemed to have a good time while we were there, and Teller ended up with the victory. Around 4:00 we headed back to Brevig. You can see some pictures of the kids in the sled on the left side of the screen. If they aren’t there, you can check out my flicker.
