Here are the top three stories in Anchorage today:
- Children ages five and six are encouraged to join The Anchorage Classical Ballet Academy for Pre-Ballet sessions. The eight-week sessions are a perfect way for little ones to be introduced to and learn classical ballet. Classes begin on March 14 and run each Saturday through May 7 from 11:00-11:45 a.m. (Instagram)
- Several avalanche slides have been reported throughout the Anchorage area due to the warm and wet weather. According to a community alert from Anchorage police, an avalanche near mile 91 of the Seward Highway was blocking the road on Friday. North of Anchorage, crews were working on another slide that was reported near mile 8 on the Old Glenn Highway, according to the transportation department. (Anchorage News Source)
- The Anchorage Museum is asking the public for their opinions. In a new survey, the museum is asking participants to let the museum know how they can create and learn with the community. Those who take the survey will automatically be entered to win a $100 Visa gift card. (Facebook)
