Alakanuk NEW School Tour

I finally got a chance to tour the new school and take some pictures.  We went on a walk to the new school and were invited in by a friendly construction worker.  

Here are some pictures before (Fall 2012) and after (Spring 2014)...

On our walk to the new school, we passed by a scrap yard.
