“This is scary,” one boy said with a smile.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Mountain View Elementary School students went ice skating on their very own rink on Friday afternoon.

“I just wrote a paragraph on GoFundMe, that’s all Coach did, and a bunch of people wrote a check, so it’s really cool,” Cornelison said. “You live in Alaska — you need to skate,” Cornelison said. “It’s like living at a beach and not swimming. So I’m going to push these kids to use this not just after school on the weekends.”

“We think about the whole child,” Hill said. “So we want to have them grow in reading and math and their social skills, but also their mental health and their exercise is just as important.”

Elementary school to install metal detectors where 6-year-old shot Virginia teacherMetal detectors will be installed in every school in the Virginia city where a 6-year-old boy shot and wounded his teacher last week. The Newport News School Board said Thursday the board was given the approval to buy 90 walk-through metal detectors. Shouldn't have taken a 6-year-old to make this happen. This should be standard practice at ALL schools. The only way to stop a bad 6-year-old with a gun is with a good 5-year-old with a gun. People throw their guns around the house like remotes. Damn!

Bellevue School District proposes consolidating several elementary schools amid low enrollmentThere will be time for parents to weigh in on the proposal before any schools are consolidated. I would rather bring disadvantaged children from nearby locations to fill the empty seats. Bellevue is a great school district!
