The school year has begun and SUIMA students are glad to be back. We have our outdoor environments set up, the gardens are weeded, and the older students are already settling into their lessons; the meals from the school kitchen have been wonderful. We have celebrated birthdays, a staff wedding, and are creating projects for the upcoming 100th annual Southern Ute Tribal Fair. All-in-all, it has been a good first week of school.
