RECALL: Bumble Bee Chunk Light Tuna

A nationwide voluntary recall has been issued for Bumble Bee Chunk Light Tuna with the following UPC codes/”Best By” Dates. No illnesses have currently been reported. The specific product may have been under processed, which could cause the cans not to be sterilized. This increases the likelihood if food is contaminated by spoilage organisms or pathogens, and that the tuna could cause illness if consumed.

Anchorage Youth Court (AYC) has a new member class starting Saturday, April 2. This is a great volunteer opportunity for students in the Municipality of Anchorage in grades 7 – 12 between the ages of 12-18.

Youth interested in AYC must take the class before they begin volunteering. In this class students will learn about the court system and how to prepare to handle AYC court cases. After they take the class and become a new member, they can volunteer their time in trainings, adjudicating cases for their peers, and other volunteer opportunities throughout the community.

The class begins on Saturday, April 2 at West High School. The class meets for three consecutive Saturdays from 10 am – 2 pm and then meets on April 23 for the bar exam from 12 – 1pm.

Registration Deadline: Wednesday, March 30 at 6 pm. For more information and to register, please visit www.anchorageyouthcourt.org.

Hello Steller!
Our Sister School Exchange Students from Akiak, Alaska are here! Akiak is a village on the Western coast of Alaska that is about 20 minutes north of Bethel. They arrived on Sunday, March 20th and will be spending the week with us here at Steller! They are here to experience life at Steller and gain a better understanding of life outside of rural Alaska. Please make them feel welcome by saying hello and introducing yourself!

Thank you so much!

Next year, the Steller staff is going to pilot using schoolwide essential questions and we’re inviting everyone to submit a question for consideration. Essential questions are “big idea” questions that do not have simple right or wrong answers. Our goals are to encourage critical thinking on a similar topic throughout our community and to spark collaborative conversations among students, parents, and staff. Throughout each semester, students will explore the questions in their advisory groups, and, because the question will be interdisciplinary, teachers will be able to incorporate it into their lesson plans. The semester’s exploration may culminate with seminar-style discussions as part of our All Community Meeting. We will explore one question per semester and plan to have them chosen this school year. Question suggestions can be put in the essential question box in the office, or you can email them to Danielle at Sjoden_Danielle@asdk12.org. Please submit them by Friday, April 1st. For question criteria and the rationale for using essential questions, see the article about the school we’re modeling this after: http://www.jcsd.k12.or.us/sites/jcsd.k12.or.us/files/files/using%20schoolwide%20essential%20questions%20to%20drive%20learning.pdf Thanks in advance for your support.
