We are going ahead with the planned telescope night from 8:00-11:00 PM at the runway hangar! We will have s’mores and hot chocolate, and if you have one, please bring a flashlight. See the flyer + map for information about parking! Here's some information about what we might see from Space Club leader Mr. Joe: The weather forecast says the clouds will lift sometime between 7:00-9:00PM. The moon will set at 9:30, making the optimal viewing time between 9:30-11:00. Before the "optimal" time, we will likely be able to see some of the brighter things like planets. We are in the middle of a significant meteor shower right now, and the northern lights were out last night so there is a good chance to see some super cool things! Hope to see you there! 🔭 #metlakatla #telescope #community #space #alaska #richardjohnsonelementary #annetteislandschooldistrict

Congratulations to our RJES Students who had Perfect Attendance for Quarter 1! To celebrate their hard work, students were able to invite a special guest to come in for a pizza lunch with them. Luk’will aam dsapsm, students! 🏆 #richardjohnsonelementary #attendance #award #metlakatla #alaska

AISD and the RJES Space Club are hosting the first ever Community Telescope Night! This will be held this Saturday October 21st, 8:00-11:00pm, by the old airplane hangar. *Please note: the forecast looks good, but please keep an eye on AISD posts on Saturday should the weather turn and we need to reschedule the event.* MPD will be blocking off a few of the entrances to keep everyone safe in the dark, and limit the light pollution as much as possible for optimal telescope viewing (please see the attached map). We hope to see you there! 🔭 #spaceclub #telescope #metlakatla #alaska #communtyevent #richardjohnsonelementary #aisd

This morning, Sylvia & Ebba read the morning announcements for RJES! Luk'will aam dzapsm! #richardjohnsonelementary #metlakatla #alaska #education
