Alaska Native Cultural Charter School

Many of our MEP (Migrant Education Program) families are busy working on the water during this fishing season. We would love to see photos from your season! Share pictures of your catch; your work on the water.

Your photos help us celebrate the hard work and dedication of our fishing families and the important role you all play in our communities.

Send us your photos (to [email protected]) or share them in the comments. We look forward to seeing this year's fishing season through your lens!

📸☀️ What. A. Year. ☀️📸

The final days of school were packed with laughter, adventures, celebrations, friendships, and enough memories to fill a whole photo album (or several!). From special events and classroom fun to end-of-year festivities, we made every minute count.

It’s hard to believe how quickly this school year flew by. One minute we were welcoming everyone back, and the next we’re sending students off for summer adventures!

As you scroll through these photos, we hope you can feel the joy, excitement, and sense of community that made this year so special. ❤️

To our students, families, staff, and supporters-thank you for being part of another amazing year. We wish you a summer filled with sunshine, laughter, rest, and plenty of fun.

We already miss seeing your smiling faces and can’t wait to welcome everyone back in August for another incredible year!

🌞 Have a safe, happy, and sunny summer! See you soon! 🌞
