Thank You, Sitka
Dear Editor: I would like to express my belated thanks to the community of Sitka! Our community is a huge part of Mt. Edgecumbe High School and our students: providing community service opportunities, faith experiences and support, purchase of goods and services, and many fantastic student opportunities and experiences.
Although dwindling with the state financial challenges, most of our $10 million budget is spent here in Sitka, as are the millions of capital project dollars over multiple years. In fact, visiting teams are going to love our much-overdue “ground up” locker room remodel with the last of our capital project funds.
As soon as I mention specific names and organizations, I will have left out many others. The list would take over the newspaper! But I can guarantee that you know who you are and that you are appreciated by MEHS staff, students, and me. Thank you for helping MEHS and all young people explore their talents and develop their dreams in a safe and supportive community.
Bill Hutton,
Ex-Director as of June 30,
Mt. Edgecumbe High School
Fools Run Thanks
Dear Editor: Raven Radio would like to thank everyone who participated in this year’s Only Fools Run at Midnight! There were about 200 Fools running, walking and rolling through Sitka Saturday night and it was a super success! 5k winners were Mateo Bailey and Molly Sitter in the youth category; Jordan Zellhuber and Erin Wallace in the adult category; and Fr. Andy Sensenig Omi and Mary Barrett in the masters category. Wackiest Centipede first prize went to the giant Octopus created by students of the Sitka Fine Arts Camp, and second place went to a gaggle of Royal Fools. Best costumes went to a well-fed shark, a giant baby, and a GhostBuster and her ghost. Thanks to the Hames Center for the 1-month membership prizes, AC Lakeside for providing refreshments, Yellow Jersey Cycle Shop for the racing bibs, and Steve Warren and Friends for the live and lively music. Also a big thank you to the Sitka Fire Department for hosting the Fools, and the Sitka Police Department and the City of Sitka for support. Thanks to Emily Kwong for photos.
