ONLINE VIRTUAL SPEAKER SERIES

During the height of the pandemic we hosted an online-virtual speaker series. We hosted live speakers and asked speakers to pre-record videos for our online speaker series. All videos can be found on our Youtube Channel. 

Twice a year, Indian Education hosts two community potlucks to celebrate and honor students' achievements after Trimester One and Trimester Two.

We believe in recognizing students both for their academic achievements as well as community and cultural achievements. Awards given are:

• A Honor Roll: 3.6 GPA (weighted)

• B Honor Roll: 2.6-3.5 GPA (weighted)

• Exemplary Attendance: 97% attendance (about less than 1.5 days missed). 

• Outstanding Attendance: 95% (about less than 3 days missed)

• Above and Beyond: The purpose of this award is to recognize students who exceed expectations and take on leadership roles during groups with their advisors.

• Community Advocate: The purpose of this award is to recognize students who have volunteered in their communities during the trimester. Submit a nomination here.

• Cultural Leadership: The purpose of this award is to recognize students who have shown cultural leadership through their participation in cultural activities during the trimester. Examples include participation in: powwows (dancing, drumming, contests), ceremony, language tables, etc. Submit a nomination here. 

Indian Education provides the main dish for the meal, paper products, juice and coffee. We hope to see you there. Please bring a dish to share if you are able.

Annual Indian Education Fall Kickoff Potluck Picnic

Each September the Indian Education Program plans a potluck-picnic to kick off the school year! This is one of our biggest events of the year. It is a great place to meet new friends in the community and renew old friendships that have been lost during the busy summer months. We often have a wide variety of activities for students and families to participate in. 

 

This is a potluck event. Indian Education provides the main dish for the meal, paper products, juice, and water. Please bring a dish to share if you are able.
