History of Voznesenka School<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0418\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0440\u0438\u044f \u0412\u043e\u0437\u043d\u0435\u0441\u0435\u043d\u0441\u043a\u043e\u0439 \u0428\u043a\u043e\u043b\u044b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The past thirty-plus years have brought tremendous growth and change to<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voznesenka School. From 1986, when seventeen students were first taught on the dirt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

floor of Serpion Reutov\u2019s basement, to our current school that includes a main building<\/p>\n\n\n\n

with a computer lab and three portables for a hundred plus students in preschool through<\/p>\n\n\n\n

twelfth grade. At first, education was provided through the school district\u2019s correspond-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ence program overseen by John Szajkowski for Voznesenka, Kachemak Selo, and Dolina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marya Kalugin was the first bilingual instructor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A two-room school house was built by the community in 1988 for 28 students in<\/p>\n\n\n\n

kindergarten through eighth grade. The school consisted of seven staff members: Stan and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anisia White, Dave and Bonnie Evans, Marya Kalugin, Agafia Molodih, and Sandy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martushev as the school secretary. All photocopies were made at McNeil Canyon School<\/p>\n\n\n\n

for there wasn\u2019t a copy machine or even a telephone on site. There was only an outhouse<\/p>\n\n\n\n

for restroom facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The community was unprepared for the growth of the school. In 1989, the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

school had 56 students, and the building was overcrowded. The district brought a porta-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ble and established a special education program in 1990. Efrocia Polushkin was the spe-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

cial education aide and David Lewis the teacher. Soon, even with the portable, the school<\/p>\n\n\n\n

was congested. In the summer of 1993, the community expanded the two-room school by<\/p>\n\n\n\n

adding an additional three classrooms, a library, a large work area, two bathrooms, and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

an office for a 110 students. Finally, the district brought in an additional two portables<\/p>\n\n\n\n

that have brought the school to its current state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over time, the slow flow of staff\u2014we are proud to have little turnover\u2014-has<\/p>\n\n\n\n

each left an impression on the school we are today. We are proud of our school and the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

programs we offer our students. The school provides an education in the students\u2019 native<\/p>\n\n\n\n

language, recognizing the value of bilingual education. A preschool was established in<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1998 and continues strong, with even a waiting list to get in. Our peak year of enrollment<\/p>\n\n\n\n

was in the 2002 to 2003 school year with 148 students. A wrestling program was created<\/p>\n\n\n\n

in 2004 with continued success, and a Head of the Bay football team existed from 2012-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2017. For the past five years, combined village sports of cross country running and girls\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

soccer were also made available. Other educational enhancements offered include Family<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and Consumer Science, Construction, Art, Youth Court, Weight Lifting, Project Grad, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A special thanks to the teachers, staff, and coaches who have worked so hard to develop<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and maintain these opportunities for our youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today marks our twenty-fourth graduation ceremony, and our thirty-third year<\/p>\n\n\n\n

school anniversary. These great accomplishments would not have been possible without<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the tremendous effort and support of the community and school staff. We extend a sin-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

cere and boisterous Thank You, \u0421\u043f\u0430\u0441\u0438\u0431\u043e!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each year brings changes. The end of this year, we salute Linda Etzwiler, our<\/p>\n\n\n\n

legendary K-2 teacher, to retirement after 35 years teaching, 15 of those at Voznesenka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also wish Rick Foster, our beloved Science\/Social Studies teacher, a restorative year as<\/p>\n\n\n\n

he takes a year\u2019s leave of absence. Additionally, we wave off Megan Green, our innova-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

tive Migrant\/ Title 1 teacher as she moves to Dillingham. We are so thankful for the many<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ways they\u2019ve brightened and enlightened our lives. We wish them all the best and will<\/p>\n\n\n\n

always embrace them as part of our Voznesenka School family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
