Here is most of our Pathway group on the last day of our first semester!  A couple were stranded at home by bad roads; almost half have to drive in from Wasilla/Palmer area, 45-60 minutes away.  (Sister Hawkins is standing at the back with the Ipad we use to Skype them into class.)  It is a joy to sense their feeling of accomplishment as they move ahead with their lives.

These kids have just jumped through a big hole in thick ice into Goose Lake on the UAA campus. They "risked their lives" as part of the "Polar Plunge" organized to raise money for the Alaska Special Olympics.  It is 9 degrees outside.  Three of them are our Pathway students. It was a beautiful setting for a very cold experience!
