1st Field Trip- Chaperone to the YFSD Voc Ed Gathering

Just like in the military, the new guy, or new teacher gets "volun-told" for all the extra taskings and last minute jobs that arise. This time I was asked to chaperone four students on a three day field trip to Fort Yukon for the yealy vocational education school orientation. Essentially its a day long conference with motivational speakers, sports, and introductory Voc Ed classes.
The first night kicked off with a little live music. One of my students from Arctic Village and his Grandfather on fiddle, along with two other teachers played some good old fashion fiddlin bluegrass for about 1 1/2 hours.

The students had a "call" and "jig" competition.
You would think middle and high school students would be to shy to line dance like this, but they had a good time.
