Colors of Community
Dear Editor: The Colors of the Community Project at Blatchley Middle School would like to extend its gratitude to First Bank for the generous donation of monies to support our project. The monies were used to print student photos and purchase supplies to support the showcase at the middle school POPS concert. The mission of this project, as written by students, is to “collaboratively and creatively celebrate the rich diversity of Sitka, Alaska, highlighting students and community members through visual art. This project will represent the culture of our town and honor our community.”
Thank you, First Bank, for supporting our youth and for encouraging school-community connections. Additionally, we send big thank-yous to Mindy Samman of Blatchley Middle School; Hillary Nutting of Sitka Tribe of Alaska; and Juan Cediel of Americorps, STA, and the Sitka School District for their hard work and unyielding support of this project.
