I am excited to announce that as part of the RURE program the Super Sonic Sevens will be traveling to Kwethluk, AK (pronounced kwee-th-luck). The small Yupik village is located 15 miles west of Bethel. Follow the below links to learn more information about our sister school.

Five students and myself will travel to the small village and spend a week living in their community. The exchange will take place in the spring most likely after spring break. I am waiting confirmation on the dates from Mr. Milliron. Later in the spring 5 students from Kwethluk and their teacher will travel to Juneau and live with host families from our team. The five students will be chosen after they have written a persuasive essay and explain why they would make good Cultural Ambassadors.
