The MMS Alaska Region has been involved in a School-Business Partnership
with Campbell Elementary School since 1993. Campbell school is located in south Anchorage,
was built in 1967 and remodeled in 1993. The school serves as the homebase for the
local Community School and has a diverse population of around 500 students from many
cultures and backgrounds. |

The sledding hill is a popular spot during winter recesses.
Classes take turns so the hill doesn't become too crowded. During the summer, this
is where the softball field is. |

This is the "Big Toy," the most popular piece of
playground equipment at the school. It is a great place to play tag or just sit and
talk. |

The hallway to the gym is decorated with a mural showing Alaskan
animals. It was designed and built by local artists. Their are murals like
this one throughout the school. |
Every year, the Alaska Region and the Campbell PTA sponsor
the annual science fair. It is our goal to improve the student's
understanding of science and its’ importance in our daily lives, and to show
them that science is fun.
