Russian Jack Elementary is one of two Title One Schools here in Anchorage that was the beneficiary of the All Kids Bike initiative to teach all kids in America to ride a bike. HDR, a worldwide engineering company with offices here in Anchorage, donated more than $12,000 to pay for bicycle curriculum and of course, the bikes! Dave was there for the bike reveal on Wednesday and the excited kindergartners! Dave talked to one excited young kindergartner Kaidence Bean that just loved the bike and the mic.
School board members, staff and administration gathered at the Anchorage School District Education Center Saturday morning for a work session to brainstorm potential areas that could be trimmed from the budget.
