"Lovey is a dedicated, dependable, and compassionate member of the Annette Island School District family. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that our students and staff have a safe, clean, and welcoming environment every single day. Her attention to detail and commitment to excellence shine through in every corner of our building."

Recently, RJES Music Teacher Danielle Koch approached Secondary Shop Teacher Tadd Yliniemi about the possibility of creating tables for the RJES xylophones and metallophones. He came up with a brilliant idea of repurposing desk legs from desks no longer in use, and having one of his classes make tops to fit the instruments!
A few weeks ago, one of his classes delivered the tables to the RJES Music room, and a few days later, the class that created the tables came to see their work in action, learning how to play them.
The impact of these tables in the Music Room is huge: now students can stand to play instead of having to sit on their knees in front of them, and the tables allow for great space saving in our room. T'oya̱xsut 'nüüsm to Tadd and his students for making these desks, and for personally delivering them to the RJES Music Room!
