April in the Sm’algyax language is Ha'lila̱x sixs'waanx- it means the time to gather herring eggs! Yesterday, our first grade class was able to share a yummy snack. Thanks to MIC for sharing laxsm xs’waanx (herring eggs on branches) with the community, and thank you to Ms. Chelsee Cook for the eggs on Legi (hairy seaweed). Luk’wil ts’maatk (it tastes really good)! The first graders enjoyed eating them and were also so happy to share them with others at RJES!
