The Southern Ute Indian Montessori Academy (SUIMA) held their annual school field day at SunUte Park on Friday, May 9. The cloudy skies didn’t stop students, teachers and families from having fun with a bubble station, obstacle course, bouncy house, face paint, tug-o-war and more. The students also participated in a one mile run along the Bear Trail. This year, different Southern Ute Tribal staff members manned different stations inside the field as kids made their rounds with their classmates and families.
