Quyayarqeggcikici!!

That's Happy Thanksgiving in Yupik!
Yesterday at school we held a community Thanksgiving Feast! Our Dance Team entertained for the first half hour, then the paper was laid out, a blessing given by the Deacon, and then some major eating!  We had over 300 people who really seemed to enjoy the turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn, and fresh baked bread, all made by our two cooks, Simon and Chris, then served to the community by the staff. 


   



 
Then today I hosted a dinner for all the "family-less" staff. We ended up with 14 people, stuffed to the gills!! Daryl (my principal) and I cooked the turkey, and everyone else brought side dishes.
