Tuntutuliak's Photojournalists stand here eager to take pictures of their village led by their teacher, Rebecca Midles, who is pictured below!
Tunt's fearless school "Leader", and I do mean a leader with Girl Scouts of America leadership skills, also has a web page. Click here to go to the link to check it out!
Smile for the camera! I would like to thank this group for all of their help in collecting the photos which you are about to see!
Boardwalks are used to connect the buildings of Tuntutuliak together. This maze of wooden pathways can be found everywhere...

... the boardwalks are in tip top condition ...


Yup'ik instruction is given to the primary grades and they transition into English as they advance. The Yup'ik language is spoken at home making this a true example of a Bilingual Program!

... even equiped with road signs ...

 
I usually need to remind myself to slow down when giving instruction; But with these students I couldn't teach fast enough. There is so much out there to learn and they want to know it all!!!

 

... now that is awesome!

Tunututuliak has trees!

We've got all of the fishcamp gear put up for the winter now so bring on the snow!
A beautiful sunrise appears guiding the graveyard towards the light above.

This office staff keeps the folks at this school going!

OOPS! I guess I was caught in one of those teaching moments! I owe ya one Rebecca!

Ah! The river...

... here we talk about testing the different types of water found around Tunt!
Students are checking out the results of the previous day's water tests.

While children are hard at play after school,

the teachers are planning for all of the upcoming events!

Thanks again to all of the students and staff of Tuntutuliak for making my stay in your school enjoyable and helping me in gathering all of these photos that I was able to share with our web page viewers!
