Begich Teacher Wins National Award
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
I hope you are all enjoying the great weather this weekend. Apparently it is summer after all!
2012 Session Accomplishments
This year I was successful in helping pass several important pieces of legislation to create jobs for Alaskans, make sure children with autism can get the treatment they need, protect crime victims’ rights, and improve early childhood education opportunities. I have a short video that highlights what we accomplished for East Anchorage this year, and I hope you’ll take a couple of minutes to watch it.

Back to School Information
The Anchorage School District school year starts next month with the first day of school for grades 2-12 on August 22 with kindergarten and first grade starting August 29. The district has a website with lots information including registration information for elementary, middle, and high schools as well as alternative and charter school registration. You can find registration forms here, and you can learn about school bus routes and schedules here.

In other school related news, Begich Middle School teacher Scott McKim was recently announced as a winner of the California Casaulty Award for Teaching Excellence, one of the most prestigious national teaching awards. Congratulations to Scott and the Begich community!
As always, please call or email me with any thoughts, ideas, or concerns.

P.S. The reds are running, and I’m sure many of you are out filling your freezers, I thought I’d share some useful numbers for Alaskan fishermen and hunters.
