Let's be clear, my only affiliation with this school is because it's my voting location…read more I think I will request to change my polling place because of the last couple of voting experiences. One time I was handed a republican choice instead of making the choice myself as I am non-partisan and I like to make educated choices. After a bit of a haggle I was finally given both to make one choice, either Dem or Rep. I also take issue with this as non-partisan I should be able to choose across party lines. This last time, voting for POTUS which I will now refer to as POTATO, the machine that accepts the file was malfunctioning so that I had to take it out of the privacy slip and slowly feed it. Of course the guy manning the machine was using slips and his body to shield my vote, it was apparently beyond the school to build a make shift privacy curtain. Bah! Ruin my voting life!

However, if grammar is your thing, this is your school. The school leadership plays favorites within the school. Communication about fundraisers is abundant and overwhelming (expect to spend well over your monthly tuition bill to attend this school) but communication about academics and overall school standardized test results to see school wide trends is severely lacking.

Dimond High Pool is the only Muni pool available on the southside. On Saturdays from 2:30pm - 4pm…read morethis Muni pool hosts open swim for the whole family at very affordable prices. They even have family passes available for purchase. They take cash or card but they don't carry a ton of cash FYI. See their calendar online for costs and additional schedules. All of my previous Muni pool experiences have been at West High Pool (closed for summer 2022). This was my first visit to Dimond pool. Let's be honest, West is better in every way, but Dimond is a great alternative. Clean pool, lots of considerate life guards, and nothing of ours got stolen in the locker room. So grateful for Muni pools. Hotel rooms get costly.

You will learn Cuban salsa (aka Casino) & all the rich Cuban dances that Cubans blend with it - rumba, mambo, yuka, & Afro-Cuban dances.

Perfect medicine for any time of year, but especially for our dark Alaska winters!

The lessons program for children used to be fantastic and my kids were making huge strides. However…read moreover this past year, the program has gone done hill. It lacks consistency, not just between sessions, but also during the same session. My boys have not had the same instructor at all the last few sessions and are never placed in the correct level, even when their last sessions shows what level they should start in. There is not a consistent person in charge either, it constantly changes. When you try to discuss your concerns with the person in charge that day, they don't seem to care what you think. The lack of consistency makes you have to go for more sessions just to get the basic swimming progress. We've been attending for almost 3 years now, but after this session I think we'll have to find a new place to achieve better progress, which is very disappointing.
