Many students' parents are employed by the military at either nearby Ft. Other parents work at one of the many Fairbanks or North Pole service-related businesses, or for state or federal agencies. Some of our students may be a bit unusual . . . Our school , built in 1987, has a beautiful sculpture garden near the front entrance. The sculptures represent aspects of the coastal Eskimo and Russian cultural background of Emily Ticasuk Ivanoff Brown, the native educator after whom our school is named.
Children love to walk through the whalebone near the plaza.
Several wrought iron figures depict Russian fairy tale characters. Finally, there is a bronze statue of Sedna, the beautiful maiden of the sea from an native tale, and the sea creatures who rescue her from peril. We have an ice rink , paved basketball areas, a soccer field, and a baseball area on the school grounds. We have lots of fun outdoors, where we do activities like the parachute , T-ball , eggwalk, balloon launches , and building snowforts and snow sculptures . Within walking distance of the school is an indoor roller rink that classes like to visit on special occasions.
