LOVE this tale. Read it many times with students. These women helped me complete 20 years teaching. <3 <3

It is a must read before you watch the movie! I am looking forward to seeing how this is portrayed. This just made my day.

I just learned how at the Soldotna airstrip, Yute air is where donations will be accepted until 8 pm Saturday. "Because we're Alaskans!"

They are working to sort, distribute and evacuate.

Yute Commuter Service is accepting donations through Saturday at 8 p.m. at 627 Funny River Road. The company asks that items be sorted and put in waterproof containers, like a trash bag.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

I’m always hearing that Juneau’s electricity is cheap because of hydropower. 12 cents a kilowatt in the winter/10 cents in the summer.

6/5 cents a kilowatt for off-peak charging for electric cars.
