Students shine at Christmas performance 


Pɵˈɵkwatʉ – Eagle’s Nest 

Our students shined during their performance at the Tribal Christmas Dinner Program. They were all dressed in beautiful Christmas attire and their voices carried throughout the room. The older students were confident as they announced the upcoming songs and the drummers showed excitement as they beat out the rhythm of the song. Not performing for three years, the students did a wonderful job.  

We are in the middle of Christmas break and enjoying time with our families and friends.  Whether you have stayed home, spent time outside, watched movies, or were gone on a trip, we hope you have had fun.  

The students will return on Monday, Jan. 9, 2023.
