"Gruening Middle School"

Under the current plan, students will have bus service only one-third of the time.

The student body at the earthquake-damaged Eagle River Elementary School has been split up and relocated to two separate schools. For some families, the transition could be difficult.

Concrete near the front of Gruening Middle School sustained major damage from Friday’s magnitude 7.0 earthquake, and there was a possible gas leak near the cafeteria.

This is the fifth year Tanya Shakhov has run Project Citizen, and she’s used to classes picking topics like crime, substance abuse, and suicide that are grim, but keep students invested.
