Nancy and Eielson H.S. were presented with a $60,000 check as the Grand Prize Winner in the Follett Challenge on Friday, May 6th when folks from Follett in the Chicago area flew to Fairbanks to visit Eielson, present the check and throw a party for the whole school (everyone received from Follett matching white T-shirts).
Not only was Nancy presented with the "grand prize award," but the Follett staff took Nancy and other leaders from the school, and the district, out to dinner that night. It was obviously a fine climax to Nancy's last year as a school librarian! At present she is closing-out the school year and awaiting the arrival of Tasha and myself on May 26th for a week-long tour of various tourist sites in Alaska. Nancy has succeeded in selling her car and most all of her furniture and household items. We will be riding in a rented Toyota Camry for our Alaska tour. (Student body below - w/ T-shirts) - rw
