The Southern Ute Education Department and staff introduced a special recognition program last year, the program for the young and the talented Southern Ute students attending Ignacio public schools. The staff will recognize two students a month for all their hard work and kindness given to others. Check the Drum each month and listen to KSUT for the announcement of the next honored students as well as an interview.
Kaya BISON
My name is Kaya Bison. I attend Ignacio Elementary School where I am a 1st grader.
My favorite subjects in school are art and playing in the snow. My parents are Sarah and Charging Bear Bison.
I like participating in math. In addition, I want to become a teacher when I grow up.
I have been chosen as Southern Ute Tribal Student of the Month for the month of March because I am a good student and I follow the teacher’s rules.
Comments: I want to thank Mrs. Sanchez and Mrs. Vogel for being awesome teachers.
