Special thanks to business partner Alaska World Affairs Council and Alyssa Bish for helping line up judges for three days of a new 10th grade World History project, “We as Global Citizens”. Nearly 95 students learned the importance of presentation and research skills as they presented their final projects to the judges, who then asked them questions about selected countries included topics of natural resources, equality, economics and the most important social, political and economic issues. Presentations were scheduled during the time of the visiting Russian exchange group so dialog could take place from a variety of perspectives. The panel of judges included Carole Anderson, Randy Banez, Douglas Baye, Laura Cameron, Lise Falskow, Jocelyn Fenton, Hank Jamieson, Cynthia Libby, Stefan Novotney, Laryy Persily, Cheri Spink, Nancy Swanton, Meneka Thiru, Steven Tran, Dai Phuand and Lydia Wirkus.
Russian Cultural Day and Olympiada Competition Submitted by Anna Walker, Russian Immersion, Turnagain Elementary On March 4, the Alaskan State Olympiada of Russian Spoken Language and Russian Cultural Day were held at the Education Center. Four Russian Language teachers organized the event: Anna Walker (Turnagain Elementary), Michele Whaley (West High), Valerie Ekberg-Brown (Chugiak High), and Inna Ashcraft (Turnagain Elementary). Approximately 150 students from across Alaska participated in the competition. Brandon Locke, Director of World Languages for ASD, and keynote speaker Vic Fischer, addressed the students, teachers and volunteers. The Olympiada format consisted of testing the student’s capabilities in the areas of Oral Speech, Knowledge of Geography and Culture, and Literature. In the Oral Speech category students introduced themselves and talked about their family, their school day, their favorite author and other personal interests. In the Cultural Knowledge category the students presented their understanding of Russian culture, their skills in working with a map and identifying geographical locations of Russia, the United States and Alaska. All participants of the Olympiada were registered with the professional organization American Council of Teachers of Russian and will receive a special certificate of participation from this organization.

The objective for the Russian Cultural Day was to provide students a focused, in-depth, and multisensory exposure and understanding of Russian culture including its history, cuisine, music, dance, art and dress. The Olympiada was a great success and an exciting opportunity for the participants to use their oral language skills in a fun and competitive setting and to also experience a day of rich Russian culture. A special thanks is given to our wonderful volunteer parents at this event: Mr. Ray Mercer, Mrs. Shirah Gates and Mrs. Cathy Medland. We also want to thank our Chugiak High School business partners Eagle River Carrs/Safeway, Eagle River Walmart, and Jitters for their donations to the luncheon at this event.

Better Business Bureau corner With May designated as National Moving Month and the first week of the month as National Small Business Week, Better Business Bureau Northwest offers a few tips for consumers and businesses. With the school year ending, families planning to move Outside or across town are looking to hire a dependable moving company. To ensure a smooth move, remember these tips: Check company reviews at bbb.org to find ratings and if any complaints have been filed; shop around and get estimates from at least three different companies; be sure to get the estimates in writing; and when signing the contract, read all the fine print. For businesses, BBB is warning companies about a common con that is on the rise: the Yellow Page scam. There are several angles to this scam. Fake invoices for directory ads are sent by scammers to company ac-
4
counting departments in the hope that someone will just pay the bill. Or, a business receives a phone call asking to “verify information” to update records for a directory and when the unsuspecting employee responds “yes” at some point, the company will be sent an invoice for a directory ad. A third variation occurs when a business receives an email, fax or letter asking to verify information in an ad for a free listing or page on a social network. Buried in the fine print may be an agreement to purchase the ad or listing. If payment isn’t received for any of these scams, the business may receive collection notices or threatening phone calls. BBB advises businesses to ignore the solicitations by email, fax or mail. If by phone, just tell the caller you aren’t interested and hang up. It’s important to alert all staff in your company about these scams so your company doesn’t fall victim.

Credit Union 1 Learning Lab By Krystle Fredericksen, Communications Coordinator, Credit Union 1 The partnership between Credit Union 1 and West High School began in 2009 with the opening of the Credit Union 1 Learning Lab. At its inception, the CU1 Learning Lab operated similar to a traditional branch. Students could go to the CU1 Learning Lab to open accounts, make deposits, transfer funds, or ask financial questions. Over the years, the CU1 Learning Lab has shifted focus from meeting the banking needs of West High students to meeting their need for financial education. CU1 is seeking to educate students about personal finances and providing them with tools and knowledge for future financial success. The CU1 Learning Lab is open every Monday, Wednesday and Friday during lunch offering up financial literacy through fun activities! Every Wednesday, CU1 serves up popcorn and financial trivia for students. On Mondays and Fridays, short activities are available which are designed to teach students about topics such
as budgeting, saving, preventing identity theft and applying for a job. The Credit Union 1 Learning Lab also offers: • On-site ATM with deposit capabilities to serve the banking needs of students and faculty. • Fliers and informational rack cards which provide information on types of accounts, how to build a budget, loan vocabulary and more! • iPads® for access to the internet and CU1 e-Services. Additionally, CU1 brings financial education into the classrooms of West High, as well as other schools and organizations, through its Discover Financial Fitness curriculum. With the Discover Financial Fitness program, CU1 experts visit classrooms and engage students with lessons on savings, credit and building a budget.

NECA/IBEW inspires the next generation of leaders NECA/IBEW hosted their first annual Alaska Hopes and Dreams Spring Leadership Summit on April 23 at Embassy Suites in Anchorage. Three students from each Anchorage and MatSu schools were nominated by school counselors to attend the summit. The emphasis was on leadership skills and networking. Among the 45 student attendees was Lily Morris, the East High School representative who serves on the School Business Partnership Board of Directors. “It probably was the coolest thing I have ever been to, she said, I have never been around so many kids that were goal driven. We were all there because we wanted to be. I learned how important networking is. When we checked in we were given business cards to exchange with one another. We learned about setting goals and the importance of how you present yourself to get a job, including how you dress, how you carry yourself and how you believe in yourself. There were some cool guest speakers that gave us great advice.”

School Business Partners recognize perfect attendance Students from kindergarten to graduating seniors were presented with prizes for maintaining perfect attendance and attendance of 95% throughout the 2015-16 school year. During the 2015-16 school year, there were 1,039 high school students who achieved perfect attendance in the district and 4,493 students that achieved 95 percent or better attendance throughout the year. At the high school level the Drive for Perfect Attendance grand finale event five finalists were selected. Each student has demonstrated exceptional work ethic and persevered through various challenges to achieve a perfect attendance record this year. The finale began with five Jeep Renegade vehicles parked in a semi-circle. Each finalist chose a key at random and then selected a Jeep. With their keys in the ignition, the countdown began; and the five students turned their keys at the same time to see if whose key would be a match for a vehicle. Kendra Nethery, from East High, could hardly believe it when her Jeep fired up and she was declared the grand prize winner. She drove home in a 2016 Jeep Renegade from Lithia Chrysler Jeep Dodge of South Anchorage.
Each of the four remaining finalists received 50,000 Alaska Airlines Miles that were donated by GCI. Paige Ardizzone, Eagle River High School Grant Klug, South Anchorage High School Kylan Osborne, Dimond High School Bubacar Touray, West High School
“The Drive for Perfect Attendance program has lasting rewards for all students, not just those who received prizes today. Each student who makes the commitment to show up to school every day learns the important role attendance plays in success, not only in school but in a future career,” said GCI Senior Vice President and General Manager of Consumer Services Paul Landes. “As one of the state’s top private employers, we’re proud to be part of a program that encourages exceptional work ethic and an ongoing commitment to education.”
“We’re proud to have a hand in making a difference in important matters like education,” said Lithia Chrysler Jeep Dodge of South Anchorage General Manager Troy Jarvis. “Seeing the positive impact this program has made in attendance numbers over the past three years only reiterates the importance of recognizing these incredible students for their dedication to their studies.” 8

Volunteer attorney’s Dave Rolfing and Melissa Thaisz complete a lesson on ethics at West High School.
Anchorage Youth Court provides valuable experience and service for students This spring, attorneys Dave Rolfing and Melissa Thaisz volunteered a portion of their weekend to teach students about jurisdiction, procedure, advocacy, ethics and case preparation. The students are preparing to take a bar exam in hopes to become a member of the Anchorage Youth Court (AYC). Rolfing and Thaisz have been teaching for the past two years. Once the students pass the bar exam, they get sworn in by a superior court judge and become official members. AYC provides the opportunity for youth in grades 7 through 12 who are accused of breaking the law to be judged by their peers. Students fill the roles of attorneys, judges, bailiffs, clerks and jurors. AYC members develop and apply an understanding of the law through legal education, AYC Bar Association membership, and actual participation in AYC court hearings. Defendants are afforded a chance, in a court hearing by trained local youth, to resolve their legal problems without receiving a formal juvenile record. The community benefits by receiving valuable work service as redress for the wrongs committed. Students gain skills in leadership, teamwork, public speaking, advocacy and organization. This program gives students an opportunity to provide a valuable community service.

Rolfing says of the program, “It is educational, fun, community building, has purpose and it changes people. I enjoy helping students understand the judicial system. Hopefully they will share some of the basic knowledge of the courts and judicial system.�
