High School History Class Makes Final Plans for East Coast Trip
Dear Readers,
The high school American history class is taking a trip to Boston, New York, and Pennsylvania, to visit some of the historical places we have studied and learned about. On our trip we want to go to the Philadelphia Zoo, because that’s something that we in Seldovia don’t have. They have a variety of animals that aren’t even present in this state or country from the African lion to the sloth bear, okapi to the blue poison dart frog. It would be a fun and remembered experience to learn and view the animals located in the Philadelphia Zoo. We are hoping that you could sponsor us for our admission to the zoo.
As our high school history class we have had a few fundraisers over this past year, with things like the dinner, rummage sales, and bake sales, etc. As a class we have made over $9,000 in the fundraisers alone already to pay for things like flights and hotels. Now we just have to raise the money to do the things like the Zoo, so we are asking you for help. For each person it’s $18, and for our whole group of nine it’s $162. We are just asking for people to sponsor us either by one person or they whole group. We would appreciate it very much!

The comment period is over – but there is still time to voice your comments about the proposed schedule for the AMHS via teleconference. As noted below, the teleconference will be on this upcoming Tuesday, March 27th, at 1:30pm for the southwest and southcentral runs. As it is proposed, looks like Seldovia will be serviced only once a week from November through April. Check out the proposed schedule here.
Thanks to the Gerry Willard Generation Plant!
