Often seen roaming the halls with his guitar and delighting classes with smooth rock n roll in Spanish, Lee is a performer wherever he is - which WILL be at your party! An hour of Lee and his guitar and his inimitable self is exactly what turns your party from good to great.
If you don't know furs...know your furrier...and we know David Green. They've been supporting PNA from the get go, and outfitting Anchorage with the very best furs. This year, they've brought us a stylish, go-to-the-show, go-to-work, go-anywhere jacket that suits anyone!

Hello Friends,
This afternoon as I sat at my desk, I heard peels and squeals of delight coming from the conference room. I peeked my head around the corner and found the Kindergarten class oohing and aahing over their finished auction project. "It's so cool!" and "Wow!" and "It's actually really comfortable!". They were so excited to see what they had made, and eager to share it with all who wanted to see.
One of my favorite parts of the auction are the class projects. Every year the end product of the connection the teachers, the parents and the kids make in order to raise money for PNA is amazing. Amazingly beautiful, amazingly creative, amazingly unique.
So what DID the Kindergarten class make this year? It's a handmade wooden park bench, and their individual art piece on it is unexpectedly cool. How cool is unexpectedly cool? Come to our First Friday event, and see it for yourself! See all these cool projects and pick out which are your favorites.
They are addictive...I know, I have three of them hanging around my house!

The Auction Orphans Chronicles:
When moms and dads are crazy dedicated volunteers, and kids are at school way, way, way after hours, opportunities arise....

It's not where you go, it's how you get there. And with a car like this, we suggest you take the long route.

Pass the cow! At Morning Meeting, there's always a game to play, one that may put you in a position you weren't comfortable with until just that second - like taking a cow from under your friend's chin without using any hands.
Or taking tape off your friend's nose, again without hands!
Or passing the beach ball using your feet. (After organizing yourselves by color.)
Kindergarteners put on a puppet show. First they had to build the stage. Then they had to make their puppets.
THEN they could put on a show!
Beginners explore floatation. What balls sink, what balls float? What do they feel like? WHY would a ball sink or float? Discuss among yourselves - the Beginners have!
Annabel and Rachel take advantage of a little bit of snow, a lot of sunshine,
and a fast, fun hill.
Brown Bag Week was (no surprise) a ton of fun and a big success.
Here's a slide show of the week.

7/8th graders have been studying Newton's laws of motion.
They designed, tested, redesigned and built their vehicles. The vehicle had to go 1.5 meters, stay within a 1 meter track area, and could only be propelled by the Third Law principle.

Charlie and Nico Hewitt, Class of '07, are in Utah, performing together for the first time out of Alaska. We don't know the nature of the event, but we're groovin' on Nico's jacket.
(We know its hard to tell...it's a Panthers Ski Team jacket from when Nico was at PNA!)
