Yesterday, AISD and members of our community celebrated the naming of the xsoo, ‘Wiileeksa Goop (Great Big Wave)! Students and staff from all three schools gathered in the MHS gym to listen to speakers, and then walked down to the covered court to sing "Da̱’a̱xłgm Dm Lip Al’algya̱g̱m (We Speak for Ourselves)". They hung a cedar wreath and placed cedar boughs and four copper shields under the xsoo, and spoke its name together. T'oya̱xsut 'nüün to everyone involved in putting this wonderful ceremony together, and to our community for your incredible support! There are many more photos on the latest blog post, click to see more! https://www.aisdk12.org/article/745153 #aisd #aisdproud #education #metlakatla #tsimshian #xsoo #canoe

Affirmation statements at their finest! Thank you Melody Mandan-Guthrie for this brilliant reminder! #clms #aisd #aisdproud #metlakatla #alaska #education

Graphic with Affirmation called "You Matter." By Melody Mandan-Guthrie. Why? Because I said. I love you, you are good. You are NOT weird, ugly, dumb, or mean. You are NOT a failure. You canNOT give up hope. You ARE Beautiful/Handsome. Unique, Special, and Loved. You are Nice and Kind. You don't need to be strong all the time. Nor do you need to carry everything everyone hands you. You don't need to let people walk all over you. You CAN admit you need help, or tell others to find more support than Just/Mostly You. We all need help and support sometimes, but many don't seek it. To everyone who can see this, you are appreciated and loved! You have support everywhere.

​On Saturday May 7th, Metlakatla High School students celebrated an incredible prom! Students dressed to the nines and danced to music in the gym, which was completely transformed into Las Vegas! This prom could not have been put on without the incredible help of the juniors and junior parents. On the nights leading up to prom, they could be seen working on the ​massive amount of decorations and setting up to make this prom unforgettable. THANK YOU to your dedication to your peers and your students, and for everyone who contributed, designed, built, setup, and tore down everything the next day. We could not have done it without you! Madi Smith took tons of amazing photos, see lots more here: https://www.aisdk12.org/article/738431 #mhs #metlakatlahighschool #prom #prom2022 #metlakatla #alaska #students #lasvegas #lasvegasprom
