Ignite Anchorage Goes To Ignite Boulder 12
Ignite Boulder invited Ignite organizers from around the country to attend Ignite Boulder 12. Ignite Boulder is one of the longest running and biggest Ignite events around and the opportunity to see it first hand was too good of an opportunity to pass up. (They’re holding the event in a 1300 seat theater and it’s sold out!) I’m packing my bags for a flight to Denver and I’ll be in the Chautaqua Auditorium tomorrow watching Ignite Boulder 12 unfold. I hope to come back to Anchorage from Ignite Boulder with tips and ideas to help make Ignite Anchorage 4 our best event yet.
Anchorage Schools Foundation
DonorsChoose.org is not the only way you can help Alaska schools. The Anchorage Schools Foundation provides mini-grants to Anchorage educators for classroom supplies, recreational equipment and uniforms, books, technology, after-school programs, field trips and other needs. You can donate to the Anchorage Schools Foundation on the Alaska Community Foundation’s web site. Be sure to indicate that you want your donation to be applied to the “Anchorage Schools Foundation Fund”.
Ignite Anchorage 4 will feature a fundraiser for the Anchorage Schools Foundation. We’re planning that event now so watch for news and announcements soon.
Back To School
DonorsChoose.org reminds us that Alaska teachers need our help again now that the school year has started. Pick an Alaska classroom and give today!

GPS Units to Document Glacial Retreat Project Update
We received a thank you note from the teacher for this project. Ignite Anchorage donated $152.96 to this project in March after Ingite Anchorage 3. Then in April we donated another $50.00 and shortly after that the project was fully funded. Hopefully the teacher will share pictures this fall when school resumes.
Thank you to everyone that helped make this possible.
We received another very nice thank you note from Ms. C, the teacher whose project we funded through the Ignite Anchorage 3 ticket sales.
She also included photos of her class with the books our donation purchased. Visit the Young Adult Literature for Rural Alaskan Eskimo Students project page to see all the photos.
Thank you to everyone that helped make this possible.
