End of the 1st semester

The year is already half over.  Boy was that fast!  I have to say that I have really enjoyed the 2 Fridays off per month.  It seems that during those 4 day weeks the students are really motivated to learn.  I feel that this schedule has been a positive change for both students and staff.

As many of you are aware we were asked by the Tribal Police to close the school on Friday, December 21st.  After the threat had been resolved we were able to open that school in the afternoon and still have our community luncheon.  The luncheon was well attended.  We showed videos made by our students for the park service.  The 6th/7th/8th grade students made individual videos showing their interaction with Glacier National Park.  The park service made a contest out of this 4 month project.  1st place went to Jaida Bynum, 2nd went to Aleisha YoungRunningCrane, with 3rd place going to Tyler Brown.  All of the videos were fantastic and will soon be posted on the Glacier National Park web-site.  Take a few minutes to watch these videos, you will be so proud of our students.
