Resin Art Day! ✨🎨
Today in our art and craft class, our students explored the world of resin and created their very own necklaces and they turned out absolutely beautiful! Each piece was unique!

A big thank you to Mrs. Janell Garcia for leading this creative and hands-on project! Her guidance helped students turn their ideas into stunning wearable art.

We love seeing our students express themselves through art!!

In today’s group, we watched the cartoon series “SkyHawk” which is made just for Native youth that helps teach about the dangers of opioids in a way that’s easy to understand. We love using tools that speak to our kids in their voice, because prevention and awareness can start early, in a safe and supportive space.

We’re proud to walk with them every step of the way 💛

Parents, please remember to have your child return their media release forms. This allows us to share and celebrate more of the great activities happening with our students!

We had a solid group of girls for our Tuesday classes!! The girls picked things up quickly and really got into it, it’s always cool seeing them learn and get creative at such a young age. Big thanks to Nicole Provost for teaching the beading class today. The art pieces the girls made came out great and we had a good time all around.

Skyhawk Reborn !!!
Calling for Native Youth 🌟🗣️

Skyhawk Reborn is an animated video series created by the Great Plains Tribal Leader's Health Board to teach Indigenous youth about the dangers of opioids and the power of making healthy choices. Our people know the power of storytelling! This video also shows the culture and traditions that our youth can relate to, and it delivers important messages in a way that our kids can easily enjoy, understand, and remember.

Share!
But, why?
I’m posting this because education starts young, and this series is an excellent way to start important conversations early.

Whether you're a parent, educator, or community leader, this is a great tool to help guide our youth toward strength, identity, and safe choices.

🪶 Show it to your kids, it might make a bigger difference than you think.
