Hi Kimberly-Anne,
There are no schools at McMurdo because there are no kids. But there
are classes, people in the community share the knowledge they have
with others who are interested. There are lots of language classes,
arts and crafts, and dance and exercise classes. And there are
lectures and presentations nearly every night of the week on science,
travel, and lots of different subjects.
Best, Stacy

Hi Kim,
I will have to take some required classes when I get there--Happy Camper School, recycling, etc. You'll be learning more about that as I take those classes. I've already taken an online security training class just so I can get on a computer down there. That's important because that's the main way that we get information out to the rest of the world, including you guys back in Corning.
