Eagle Rive Elementary School Art Teacher, Casey Spurlock, challenged students to a Big Food Competition. Their task was to create artful food sculptures from found objects to enter under three categories: best of show, most realistic and most creative.
Ms. Spurlock instructed students to delve into their imagination an...d create "big food" sculptures for the competition. Parents were encouraged to work with their child on the homework project. As big pieces of food arrived at the school, a momentum of excitement began to build. Yarn for a bowl of spaghetti, a Model Magic chocolate chips cookie, rectangular yellow sponge foam french fries in a large fast food look-alike container, cardboard hamburgers, pizzas and fruit were among the "food groups.”
The assignment was a great way to engage parents in the art program and school while spending time with their child. The activity supports ASD Art program’s philosophy to develop each student’s level of creativity, an essential element for survival in the 21st Century.
For more information about the student artists and their artworks, contact Eagle River Elementary at 742-3000 and ask for Art Teacher Casey Spurlock.

Alaska Native Cultural Charter School students in grades 5-6 put together 11 Thanksgiving dinners for fellow ANCCS students in need.
Principal Tim Godfrey said, “Community service is a large focus in our charter. One or our priorities is to create successful citizen ship so we concentrate on our fifth- and sixth-grader...s as role models, peer leaders and civil servants. The staff develops and implements various activities which necessitate student participation in a servitude role. Our students are involved in interacting with elders at the CIT elder housing, responsible for organizing and setting up for various events at the school, and organize and prepare our food items for our annual food drive.”
Included in these pictures are Title I Reading Specialist Catherine Taylor and students Tim, Hali, Melissa, Keegan and Micah.

Students at Aquarian Charter School collected 9,617 items of non perishable food, 115 turkeys, and 11 hams, to donate to The Salvation Army's canned food drive! One class even brought in more than 2,000 cans on their own.
On Tuesday, Nov. 24, the school held an assembly to formally present the donations to The Salvation... Army. At the assembly, selected students were able to “pie” teachers as a reward for beating their collection goal.
Because students significantly surpassed their original goal, four teachers also donned shorts and t-shirts and made snow angels during recess.
