Back to Traditional Educational Practices
August 14, 2013
To Students, Parents, and Community,
After hearing comments from my staff, students, parents, and community members, and looking at test scores and report cards from the past three years, the decision is to return to the more traditional method of educational practices. I think that most, if not all, have agreed that Performance Based education is ideally a great way to learn. However, it has not been the best practice for most of the student body at this time.
I hope we have your support to make this year a great year for our students/your children. After all, this school and staff is here for them.
Kentucky has a great motto on their flag: “United We Stand, Divide We Fall”

Madison String Quartet
by Suzie Stranik
Looking back at a wonderful evening with the Madison String Quartet; if you missed this, you missed something really special. This event of the Seldovia Arts Council was actually a fund raiser for the Kenai Peninsula Orchestra (KPO). This was the sixth year the quartet has traveled from New Jersey to perform with and do workshops for the KPO. It was a sold out concert from Homer
to the SVT conference center, beginning with sparkling cider and appetizers. The Homer guests arrived via the Seldovia Bay Ferry’s evening run. The Seldovia Bay Ferry was chartered to take everyone back to Homer after the concert. Forty Seldovians also attended the concert and partook of the refreshments. The music was spellbinding, the view incredible, and the food fantastic.
We hope this will become an annual event. Many thanks to the chairs Tania Spurkland and Suzie Stranik for organizing the event and Laurel Hilts for jumping in last minute with the final details. 
A big thank you to our sous chefs and servers, Felicia Rowland, Darlene Crawford, Mary Anne Driscoll, and Margie McCord as well as our oyster shuckers Mike Webber and Tobben Spurkland.
