Congratulations to all the students who attended Bristol Bay Regional CTE sessions. The year wrapped up with students attending Sportfishing & Lodge Operations class in Naknek, Professional Practices in Healthcare in Anchorage, and Certified Nursing Assistant in Fairbanks.

When you live in bush Alaska, you have no choice but to fix it yourself! Yes, this is my broken down Honda providing a lesson in our ATV maintenance exploration week class! (And it does run again! 🙌🏻 Thanks Kids!) 😂 #TheEagleWay @akswrs #handsonlearning #diy #CTE

The last Exploration Week of the year is underway - building birdhouses, playing musical instruments, exploring chemical reactions, Hunter Safety skills, trips to Anchorage and Fairbanks to explore health care careers, and many more - what an amazing opportunity for students!
