On Wednesday August 30th, Kawerak Board, staff and the Shishmaref community came together to celebrate the new Head Start Facility Grand Opening. We are so excited for this building to be a reality and to be together to celebrate it!
Everyone gathered in the classroom to begin the celebration. Kawerak Shishmaref Board Representative Johnson Eningowuk offered a welcome and prayer. Attendees also heard from Board Chair Frank Katchatag, President Melanie Bahnke, and Head Start Director Deb Trowbridge. The Shishmaref drummers and dancers performed in honor of the occasion. The ribbon was cut by Kyle, a recent Head Start graduate who started in the immersion program when he was just 7 months old!
