The Antarctica Bulletin Board at SVDP-ALC

We are constantly adding new photos and emails from our pen pals at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station and McMurdo Station to our bulletin board at the school. Students and visitors can see these on display at all times. Visitors are usually astonished at this display, and everyone loves it!

The only news not directly from Antarctica on the bulletin board is the set of the baby photos of Gibson with Sarah and Owyn. These photos have a special dispensation due to their overwhelming popularity (I emailed a copy of these to Antarctica), plus Baby Gibson appears to be dressed properly for Antarctica with his blanket and matching little hat. He looks ready to go to South Pole Station and live on the Ice. (Gibson is wearing his Antarctic gear in the fuzzy photo -- top row, 2nd from the left.)

We try to put up a photo or email from each of our pen pals who write to us -- John Miller, Calee Allen, Weeks Heist, Shandra Cordovano, Leah Webster, Jason McDonald and Lisa Welfare. Lisa and Shandra are at McMurdo; John, Calee, Weeks, Leah, and Jason are at South Pole -- although some are leaving the Ice soon for home.

Occasionally we rotate photos when the board gets too filled. Also, that lets people see new photos and letters as they come in.
