Kaye Gumera

December 9^th – 13^th

The High School Department selected Kaye Gumera as Student of the Week for the following reasons:

• · Kaye is a fun, dynamic student with a strong sense of discovery and interest in learning. Bursting with energy, Kaye adds spirit to all she does. –Mr. Dickrell, History
• · Kaye’s vibrancy permeates all that she does. She is passionate about reading; her writing is insightful and reflective. Over the past two and a half years, I have witnessed her take the necessary time and energy that it requires for one to grow intellectually, and she has begun to reap the rewards of years of hard work. She is a leader by example, as she pursues education with a spirited inquiry and dedication. Well done, Kaye!  –Ms. Purevsuren, English

With the end of November comes the end of “Movember.” This year, twelve members of the Unalaska City School staff and supporters created a local team to participate in the world-wide fundraiser for men’s health issues. The men’s goal during the month was to keep their chins and cheeks clean while growing out their mustaches as a mark of solidarity. Community members could donate to support the team and see their progress at the official Movember website. The team stated their motivation for action saying, “We hope to help the men of our Island to recognize the importance and value of knowledge. Help us to spread the word about men's cancers and other health issues.”
