We had 60 high school students in Emmonak, sleeping in the school so they could play in our basketball tournament this past weekend. We also had a big funeral and a lot of people flew into town for that.
We had storms blow in this weekend too. Yesterday, Tuesday, we finally got all of the basketball players out of town. Planes could not fly in or out during the storms, so they were stuck. We had our kids and the extra 60 who were crashed on the hallway floor. We had to walk over kids to go from one part of the school to the other.
All students were flown out on Tuesday morning! We have about 4 teachers who were to go to a conference in Anchorage but they could not fly out. There was a storm in Bethel where they were to pick up more teachers. HOPEFULLY, they will be able to fly out today, Wednesday. (One teacher is buying supplies for a Super Bowl party bash - important stuff.)

Oh Wow! They must be good at back-up plans up there. Do the school cooks work extra hours to feed everybody? It's not like they can order out for pizza.
The Principal was upset that he had to call in another food order. Those kids ate us out of house and home. Cooks had to work over the weekend.
One airline that flies in here has their big plane down. It needs and engine. The big plane flies 9 passengers. There is a back up of trying to get people out.
