Blogs from Lower Post

Hello folks - we received this email from a colleague in Lower Post, BC
Hi, thanks... I was inspired by the conference and started two blogs based on ideas and info from conference. www.denetiaschool.blogspot.com for students, parents and community. www.denetiastaff.blogspot.com for staff development at our school. Share if you want I am proud of our small rural one room school.
Just for those of you who don't know, Lower Post is in northwestern British Columbia, located on Highway 97, the Alaska Highway, approximately 15 miles South-East of Watson Lake, Yukon. Its historical mile designation is Mile 620. (from Wikipedia)
