IN PHOTOS: Gymnastics a hit in Aklavik

Youth at Moose Kerr School in Aklavik have been taking to the air since last December as the school’s gymnastics team. A group of 13 girls practice once a week, unless they’re called to do a performance at a school assembly. Proud coach Sandra Summers said the girls are strong, determined and love to learn new skills.
