Aklaq Spotlight
The Aklaq Spotlight is on Galen Pushruk! 🌟🐻
Galen is being recognized this week for his quality work and excellent attention to detail. Galen is both a dedicated athlete and an A student, demonstrating commitment and hard work in everything he does. He is always friendly, positive, and ready to greet others with a smile.
Galen demonstrates the Iñupiaq value of Humility, Atchiksualiq, by treating his peers with respect and never boasting about his accomplishments. He also understands that mistakes are a natural part of learning. Rather than becoming upset when something doesn't go as planned, Galen uses mistakes as opportunities to learn and grow.
Galen is truly a one-of-a-kind Aklaq, and we are lucky to have him as part of our school community.
We are proud of you, Galen, and you should be proud of yourself! Great job! Keep shining! 🌟🐻

🐻💙 TELLER CULTURAL FESTIVAL — CELEBRATING CULTURE & COMMUNITY! 💙🐻
📰 This article is brought to you by the James C. Isabell School Journalism Class!
The Teller Cultural Festival was held in Teller from September 25th–27th, bringing together more than eight tribes to celebrate culture, community, and tradition.
One of our James C. Isabell School students, Aubrina, shared her experience:
“I had a really fun time at Teller Cultural Festival.”
The festival was filled with dancing, singing, visiting, laughter, and celebration as people came together from across the region. It was wonderful to see so many people sharing their cultures and celebrating together in Teller. 💙
Our Journalism Class was excited to help capture and share the story of this special community event!
Quyanaq to everyone who helped make the Teller Cultural Festival such a wonderful celebration! 🐻💙
