Kim Reierson, Community Member

“Most telling about Ms. Reierson’s commitment to Seward High athletics is that her youngest child graduated from Seward High in 2009. She has remained Booster Club president for no other reason than her love of Seward High athletics and her dedication to the students.” Read more…

Barbara Ralston, Educator

“Ms. Ralston’s lessons are geared toward the needs of all of her students. She is truly a remarkable teacher and willingly shares her knowledge with others.

Brenda Ratky - “Grandma Brenda” Community Member
Delores  Benner - “Grandma Dee” Community Member

“Grandma Brenda and Grandma Dee are fixtures at Kalifornsky Beach Elementary School. It is commonly said that the year doesn’t officially start until both of these fine ladies start reading with our students. Many Alaskan kids do not have grandparents who are part of their lives on a regular basis. This is not true for students at K-Beach Elementary. Our kids have two grandmas they see almost every day!” Read more…
