Little Speakers, Big Impact

During our Cultural Education Department Language Conference, students attended and showcased their language skills. David Skeets Elementary Princess Calnia Kaamasee began the conference with the Pledge of Allegiance in Navajo. Twin Lakes Princess Teagan Tso and Lil' Miss Twin Lakes Elishia Tso also performed a song in Navajo. These students demonstrated confidence and made a lasting impression at the three-day event.

 

Tohatchi Senior Bailey Chato and Crownpoint Senior Kathryn Francisco have both been named Senior of the Year by the Gallup Rotary Club. The Senior of the Year event will be on April 8th at 11:30 am to honor students.
