Host family needed for a week!!
Steller is hosting five students from Toksook Bay, Alaska from September 27th to October 4th. This is part of the Sister School Exchange through the Alaska Humanities Forum. Last spring five of our students visited Toksook and now it is students from their school turn to stay with us. We are in need of one more host family to host a senior high school girl. If your family is interested in hosting, please contact Leigh Anne at bonney_leigh@asdk12.org. Host families are expected to provide transportation to school and some group events. They are encouraged to participate in group activities. There is a stipend provided to help offset the cost of food and activities. Families do need to go through a criminal background check in order to host. Please consider hosting, it is a great opportunity for your family and student to learn about life in a small village in Alaska.
