Unalaska Pride sponsored a community-wide holiday "Deck the Halls" decorating contest in December to spread the cheer of the season throughout Unalaska. The contest included four categories: residential indoor, residential outdoor, business indoor, and business outdoor. Community members nominated themselves or someone else for the contest, and then Unalaska Pride members made scheduled home and office visits to determine the winners. 

Poetry Out Loud 2013 Winners

The Unalaska City School held its fourth annual "Poetry Out Loud" event in December, where junior high and high school students competed to perform poetry on stage. The winner of the Unalaska competition would advance to the regional level, and from there have an opportunity to advance to the national competition in Washington D.C. with a chance to win a $20,000 scholarship. English and Language Arts teachers Amy Purevsuren and Shauna Rudio coordinated the event, and thirty students participated. 

Leah Bacalso

January 27^th—31^st

The 5^th/6^th Grade Department selected Leah Bacalso as Student of the Week for the following reasons:

• Leah is a joy to have in class. She enters the classroom every morning with a smile on her face and a warm greeting. Her positive attitude and smile is ever present as is her exceptional work ethic. She is not shy to share her ideas with others and asks intelligent questions. Ms. Bacalso is always willing to lend a helping hand and is a great example of what a classmate and friend should be. Thanks for all your hard work, Leah!  Keep it up!!  –Miss Wood, 6^th Grade Teacher
