I am a grade seven teacher at Ulluriaq school. I've
been working in our community for 14 years now. I
am always impressed by the tundra and the beautiful
blueberries that I pick with my students in my
grade 7 class. We made yummy, blueberry pancakes in
class the next day. All students looked forward to
eating them. They later wrote some very, berry good
stories about their outing.
