Another surprise for our students! Dennis Zotigh met with our students at the National Museum of the American Indian. While also at the museum, our students met with students/teachers from Maryland who want to zoom call with our students to discuss culture and the history of Standing Rock!
Lanie and Xiomara decided to try the Frybread at the National Museum of the American Indian. The verdict is 50/50. We are excited to be headed home tomorrow. Thank you again for everyone that supported this trip! See you soon!
We can't say thank you enough to Senator Hoeven and his staff who gave Xiomara and Lanie almost 1 hour of time to listen to our students. Our students got a chance to voice the issues facing youth on Standing Rock!
Don't forget to join us for our Impact Aid/ Indigenous Policies and Procedures meeting from 4:30 - 5:00 today in the Cannon Ball Elementary School lunchroom.
Xiomara is enjoying the Jefferson Building at the Library of Congress! Weather is still very cold and windy. We will be headed to the Supreme Court next!

Come cheer on the Lady Sioux!!!
MARSHMALLOWS AWAY! Mrs. Ferguson's class built marshmallow catapults today. The students then tried to launch their marshmallows into a cup. Some also tried to launch it into their mouths. Fun was had by all!
We had a blast at Family Night! 🎉
A huge thank you goes out to all the families, students, friends, and staff who joined us last night! We had a wonderful time learning about math, anti-bullying, and the importance of education, along with enjoying a warm meal and good company.
